Fisher v. Kadant, Inc. , No. 09-1495

In plaintiffs' action against defendants alleging they manufactured and sold defective decking and railing products, judgment of the district court denying plaintiffs' post-judgment motion is affirmed as plaintiffs have not met the burden of showing that they are entitled to relief from the previously entered judgment as a passing request to a possible future motion to amend, contained in an opposition to a motion to dismiss, is without effect in these circumstances.
