In the motion, this Defendant asks the court to consider "[f[ acts [that] were not presented" at the trial. However, she was given ample opportunity at the trial to present evidence and testify on her own behalf, which she did. therefore, the court declines to consider that "facts" presented hereon. Moreover, this Defendant has failed to demonstrate any grounds warranting relief from judgment under Rule 60(b)(6). See Adoption of Yvonne, 99 Mass. App. G. 574, 583-584 (2021) (Listing Factors)
- Endorsement on Submission of Opposition to Post Trial Motions and Notice of Appeal (#24.0): Other action taken The court will treat this as a motion for setting of an appeal bond. See Unif. Summ.

- Endorsement on Submission of Opposition to Post Trial Motions and Notice of Appeal (#24.0): Other action taken After hearing, the defendant's oral motion to waive the appeal bond pursuant to G.L. c. 239, section 5(e) is DENIED for the reasons stated. The plaintiff's request for an appeal bond is ALLOWED. It is HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal bond is $20,000, which shall be payable to the plaintiff and secured by the defendant by depositing said amount with the Clerk's Office pursuant to G.L. c. 239, section 5(c) within 21 days hereof.
