Case Number: 
No. 13-3576
Decision Date: 
July 9, 2014
Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in entering order pursuant to Rule 60(a) that required plaintiff to return $124,940 in earnest money to defendant, where defendant had paid said money to plaintiff as part of parties’ agreement, and where plaintiff successfully obtained declaration that said agreement was not binding on parties. Plaintiff acknowledged that if agreement were rescinded it would have to return said earnest money to defendant, and Dist. Ct. could use Rule 60(a) to enter instant order that corrected original final order that had granted plaintiff’s request for declaratory judgment relief but had failed to mention earnest money issue.
