Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED I.) Whether the Fifth Circuit can refuse to review the denial of a FRCP 60(b)(4) (lack of jurisdiction) motion under the “de novo” standard of review, in light of its controlling precedent in Ca/lon Petroleum Co. v. Frontier Ins. Co., 351 F.3d 204, 208 (Sth Cir. 2003) mandating “De Novo” Review? . Il.) Whether a judgment is necessary to establish jurisdiction for a Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 54 motion for attorney fees in light of Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 54 statutory requirement and the decisions of this court in “Sears, Roebuck Co. v. Mackey, 351 U.S. 427 (1956)” and Curtiss-Wright Corp. v. General Electric Co., 446 U.S. 1 (1980) requiring a Judgment? Ill.) Whether the inherent powers of the Court allow the Court to modify the jurisdictional requirements of FRCP Rule 54 in light of Cooter Gell v. Hartmarx Corp. 496 U.S. 384 (1990) and Curtiss-Wright limits on those powers? IV.) Whether the District Court has Jurisdiction to enter Orders after a Fed.R.Civ.P 41(a)(1)(a)(ii) dismissal without court order, in light of the Fifth Circuit’s, holding in Bechuck v. Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., 814 F.3d 287 (2016) that the District Court loses jurisdiction? i
