Caprera v. Jacobs

This is an appeal from a denial of plaintiffs Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) motion to reconsider and set aside an order of dismissal of their § 1983 action against the defendants. Plaintiffs also appeal from an order assessing sanctions against them. Finding that the magistrate was without jurisdiction to enter final judgment in this case, we vacate the order of dismissal, and remand this case for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
