The Chittenden Superior Court’s order of October 26, 1982, denying the plaintiff’s V.R.C.P. 60(b) motion for relief from judgment, is affirmed.
Plaintiff’s motion does not seek a vacation of the prior judgment, nor a new trial on all the issues. Rather, he requests to keep what he has secured — to have a further hearing where he can seek additional damages, without relitigating liability. V.R.C.P. 60(b) does not afford such relief. See Smith v. Smith, 139 Vt. 234, 427 A.2d 378 (1981).
