Rule 59 allows a party to request a new trial or to alter or amend a judgment within a specific time frame, typically 28 days after the judgment is entered. In contrast, Rule 60 provides a mechanism for a party to seek relief from a final judgment, order, or proceeding due to reasons like mistake, newly discovered evidence, or fraud. Rule 60 motions can be filed at any time, but they must be made within a reasonable period. Both rules serve different purposes in addressing judgments.
