Hudson Foam Plastics Corp., 277 F.Supp. 413 (S.D.N.Y. 1967);United States V. 140.80 Acres of Land. 32 F.R.D. 11 (E.P. La, 1963), the party seeking relief was not a party to the judgment or order, and relief was denied for that reason.

/3 In Smith, the court stated that it had not yet decided whether a rule regarding leave should be adopted in the Second Circuit. There is long-standing opposition in the Circuit to such a rule, see, e.g.. S.C. Johnson & Son v. Johnson. 175 F.2d 176 (2d Cir. 1949) (Clark, J., dissenting); Perlman v. 322 West Seventy-Second Street Corp., 127 F.2d 716 (2d Cir. 1942).
