Question presented

Whether the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals neglected to apply procedural due process in accordance with the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, by not accepting jurisdiction after the District Court entered a Final Order Denying a 60(B) Motion. Whether a final order, from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, disposing of a Claim, that the U. S. Supreme Court denying cert., gives the 7th Circuit Jurisdiction over a 60(B) motion that was denied by the Southern District of Indiana.
