Barry J. Smith, Sr. v. United States Congress, et al.
1. Is there a time limit to file a Rule 60(b)(4) motion to vacate a judgment order as void for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction; after the trial court has ruled that it does not have subject-matter jurisdiction of the case, does it have judicial authority to grant a motion by defendant to bar petitioner out of court based on the merits of the complaint?
2. Is the standard of review de novo when a circuit court of appeals reviews a district court's denial of a Rule 60(b)(4) motion to vacate a judgment order as void for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction?
3. Is petitioner, who has been duly convicted of a crime under the Thirteenth Amendment and has completely paid the judicially pronounced punishment, a Thirteenth Amendment citizen who only has those rights the government chooses to grant him, or, is petitioner a Fourteenth Amendment citizen who is entitled to equal protection of America's laws?
