    The Moorish Republic Nation is filing a Rule 60(b) motion for relief from the court's judgment dismissing their case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. They argue that as non-citizens of the United States, their claims that they are not U.S. citizens and have rights to their Moorish nationality raise federal questions that give the court jurisdiction. They cite several statutes that they believe give the court jurisdiction over their claims regarding citizenship, treaties, and indigenous land rights. They request that the court rescind its order of dismissal.

    1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

    2 FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA


    3 INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION

    5
    El on behalf of all registered Nationals Case: 1:23-cv-01098
    6 of the Moorish Republic Nation
    Plaintiff
    7
    v. Rule 60(b) Motion for Relief from
    8
    UNITED STATES f/k/a/ United States Judgment.
    9 in Congress Assembled,
    10 The United States of America
    Defendant.
    11
    12 The Moorish Republic Nation wishes to bring Ourselves within Rule 60(b),
    13 which applies if “any other reason justifying relief” is present. (see Klapprott v.
    14 United States, 335 U.S. 601. In support of this Motion, We state the following:
    15 On August 3, 2023 this Court dismissed this action stating that it did not
    16 have subject matter-jurisdiction. To date, we have not received the initial order or
    17 the final order.
    18 Our first claim for relief in this action is that the “Registered Moorish
    19 Republic Nationals are not United States citizens or citizens of any state of the
    20 United States of America.” As We consider the Defendants in this action a foreign
    21 occupying nation or corporation, Title 28 U.S.C. § 1330 gives this Court subject-
    22 matter jurisdiction.
    23 As We do not consider ourselves U.S. or State citizens of any of the United
    24 States of America this raises a federal question. As this is also an issue pertaining
    25 to U.S. citizenship, and the reach and function of the 14th Amendment, there is a
    26 federal question to be answered. That question sits squarely in the subject-matter
    27 jurisdiction of this Court pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. § 1331.
    28 Also, pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. § 1346, the United States is a Defendant in
    29 this action. §(a)(2) of this title gives the Court subject-matter jurisdiction, as this
    30 action does not exceed $10,000, and is founded upon the Constitution. Also, as this

    31 action also deals with the immigration and naturalization statutes, this Court has
    32 jurisdiction due to this being an act of Congress. As We are also claiming our
    33 Indigenous connections to the land that the United States is currently occupying,
    34 §(f) also firmly places this action within the subject-matter jurisdiction of this
    35 Court.
    36 Our second claim for relief is that “the Nationals of the Moorish Republic
    37 have the human right to their Moorish Nationality and the Moorish Republic
    38 government.” Although these particular statutes were inadvertently left out of the
    39 jurisdictional statement, Title 28 U.S.C. §§ 1350, 1367(a) would also give this Court
    40 jurisdiction. As Our second claim revolves around the treaties of the United States,
    41 §1350 places this action in the jurisdiction of this Court. §1367(a) would also give
    42 this Court supplemental jurisdiction.
    43
    44 WHEREFORE, We, the Moorish Republic, the Plaintiffs, respectfully request that
    45 this Honorable Court grant Our request for relief and rescind its order of dismissal.
    46
    47 Respectfully submitted,

    48 /s/Menes Ankh El
    49 Menes Ankh El,
    50 Chief Representative of the Moorish Republic
    51 on behalf of the Nationals of Moorish Republic
    52
    53 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
    54 I certify that this document was electronically filed with the U.S. District Court for
    55 the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division on November 2, 2023.
