Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a federal court may write off a Rule 60 motion without analyzing the elements

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED , , 1) Whether a federal court adjudicating a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60 may simply write off Petitioner's motion without any analysis of the FRCP 60 elements as applied to the facts of the procedural record up to that point. Failure to address the legal and factual points in any way questions whether there might be at least a prima facie element of fraud in the court proceeding and show probable cause that the lower courts have failed to address the law professionally and impartially. 2) Whether the lower courts’ label of “implausibility” ignores precedents in other circuits where no plausibility issues stood in the way of litigants on similar facts, thus creating a conflict between courts that needs resolution by a : grant of Certiorari. 3) Whether the lower courts erred by not addressing Petitioner's claims of deprivation of civil, human, constitutional rights and liberties, due process of law, and unlawful enhanced interrogations, without a hearing. PARTIES All parties appear in the caption of the case on the cover page (*List). See
