Campbell Constr. Engineers, Inc. v. Covington, 460 So. 2d 1236 (Ala. 1984). “Campbell cites Code 1975, § 6-9-21, which requires a clerk or register to issue execution within 90 days from entry of judgment, and argues that because this procedure was not followed, it lost the opportunity to file a motion based on Rule 60(b)(1).”
