Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED I Does a district court have the authority to reconsider the merits of a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 action in response to a prisoner’s timely post-judgment motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e)? I Assuming that the prisoner’s notice of appeal would otherwise be timely under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(4)(A), does the court of appeals’s subsequent decision that the postjudgment motion was, in substance, a successive “claim” for relief render the appeal of the original judgment untimely and deprive that court of jurisdiction over the appeal?
