Coney Island Auto Parts Unlimited, Inc. v. Burton · ¶23

Coney Island lastly invokes policy concerns, Rule 60's drafting history, and the canon of constitutional avoidance. To the extent that these interpretive tools carry any weight, they do so only when a Rule's language is ambiguous. See BP p.l.c. v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, 593 U. S. 230, 245 (2021); Milner v. Department of Navy, 562 U. S. 562, 572 (2011); Van Buren v. United States, 593 U. S. 374, 393– 394 (2021). Here, the operative language clearly requires parties to make Rule 60(b) motions within a reasonable time.
