Norma McCorvey's effort to re-open Roe
Here is a link to the decision by the 5th Circuit dismissing Norma McCorvey's (i.e., "Roe")'s Rule 60(b) motion seeking to re-open Roe. The opinion is authored by Judge Edith Jones, who also adds a separate concurring opinion noting the "iron[y]" that "the doctrine of mootness bars further litigation of this case since this case was born in an exception to mootness and brought forth, instead of a confined decision, an 'exercise of raw judicial power.'"
