Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Rule 60 motion should be granted due to alleged lack of jurisdiction and agency misconduct in tribal recognition proceedings

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

This case concerns yet another agency overreach involving-the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act (“List Act”), and whether the statute has judiciary branch tribal recognition or whether it can be removed from the “List Act” using a fictitious administrative action and invalidated case law. The questions presented are: 1. Whether the Rule 60 motion should have been granted because the previous District Court and Court of Appeals decisions were void because the lower Court ’s lacked jurisdiction. 2. Whether the Rule 60 motion should have been granted because the agency acted in a legally forbidden manner and deceived the District Court and Court of Appeals regarding its administrative procedures for judiciary branch tribal recognition.
