          In any event, inferring lack of diligence on the part of a litigant in landlord-
tenant court is tenuous at best and requires close attention to the facts of the particular
case. Paying for counsel remains beyond the reach of most litigants, and in the vast
majority of matters tenants navigate the proceedings without legal representation.

          Ms. Reshard argued in her March 5 reply (her Rule 60(b) motion itself was
filed before she had the opportunity to review transcripts of the February 8 hearing)
that opposing counsel misrepresented this history at the February 8 hearing. We
address this contention infra in Section II.B.
