After a civil action has been decided and a final judgment has been entered, a party files a petition for relief from judgment under Rule 47 on the ground of extrinsic fraud in obtaining the judgment. The trial court issues a single order partially granting and partially denying the petition. The movant immediately appeals the order, contending that it is a final, appealable disposition. (a) Identify the governing doctrine on matters not appealable in post‑judgment remedies and classify the order as final or interlocutory. (b) State the proper remedy if the order is not appealable. (c) If a final judgment is later entered, may the movant still appeal that final judgment, or is the remedy limited to other avenues? Explain.
