In a medical malpractice action, denial of plaintiffs’ motion for relief from a voluntary dismissal order under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) is affirmed where the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that plaintiffs’ actions were voluntary and their counsel’s actions did not amount to mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect in order to obtain relief.
