991750P.pdf   04/27/2000  Margaret Lowry  v.  McDonnell Douglas
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  99-1750
                          and No:  99-1805
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - torts. Because plaintiff's Rule 60(b) motion 
   was not filed within the thirty days permitted for filing a 
   notice of appeal from denial of a FRAP 4(a)(5) motion, 
   the district court erred in considering the 60(b) motion; 
   even if the motion were timely, the district court abused 
   its discretion in granting the motion because plaintiff failed 
   to show excusable neglect for not timely filing a notice of 
   appeal; appeal dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
