Text: Several standards govern our review of this appeal. A dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction presents a legal question that we review de novo.  Miccosukee Tribe of Indians v. U.S. Army Corps of Eng'rs, 619 F.3d 1289, 1296 (11th Cir.2010). We accept[] the allegations in the complaint as true and constru[e] them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Hill v. White, 321 F.3d 1334, 1335 (11th Cir.2003). We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for relief from a judgment or order under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). Cavaliere v. Allstate Ins. Co., 996 F.2d 1111, 1115 (11th Cir.1993). That review is narrow in scope, addressing only the propriety of the denial or grant of relief and does not raise issues in the underlying judgment for review. Am. Bankers Ins. Co. of Fla. v. Northwestern Nat'l Ins. Co., 198 F.3d 1332, 1338 (11th Cir.1999). The losing party must do more than show that a grant of [the] motion might have been warranted; he must demonstrate a justification for relief so compelling that the district court was required to grant [the] motion. Rice v. Ford Motor Co., 88 F.3d 914, 919 (11th Cir.1996); see also Cavaliere, 996 F.2d at 1115.
