Barry J. Smith, Sr. v. United States Congress, et al.

Is there a time limit to file a Rule '60(b)(4) motion to vacate a judgment order as void for lack of subjectmatter 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 de­ fendant to bar petitioner out of court based on the mer­ its of the complaint?

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?

Is petitioner, who has been duly convicted of a crime under the Thirteenth Amendment and has com­ pletely paid the judicially pronounced punishment, a Thirteenth Amendment citizen who only has those rights the government chooses to grant him, or, is peti­ tioner a Fourteenth Amendment citizen who is entitled to equal protection of America’s laws? ■
