1. Whether Puerto Rico Courts can foreclose all access to relief from appellate court judgments despite Rule 49.2's clear language stating that Courts of First Instance may rule on motions requesting relief from appellate court judgments if the former (i) identifies merit in the request and (ii) seeks prior leave of the appellate court to revise the judgment.

2. Whether the Puerto Rico Courts can limit the use of Rule 49.2 revisory discretion solely to flagrant violations rather than to a judgment issued by "mistake" or due to misrepresentation, by simply ruling that the issue could have been previously raised.
