Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

724

What is the affirmance of a united states district court ruling?

725

The affirmance ruling within the Estate Claim was the jurisdiction of the Article II court could

726

not exonerate the nature of the capacity of the subject entailed Probate of Estate could not be the

727

728

this court to “annul” or “administer” my husband MEMPHIS LEWIS SMITH estate NCGS. §

729

28A-2A-5. What shown on application for probate.

730

On application to the clerk of the superior court, he must ascertain by affidavit of the applicant -

731

(1) That such applicant is the executor or devisee named in the will, or is some other

39

732

person interested in the estate, and how so interested. I, ANDRIVIA FRANCES WELLS-SMITH

733

have interest and the Section 28A-19-1 of NCGS Section Chapter 28A and within the scope of

734

Section 50 of NCGS which governs Equitable Distribution Procedures. Matter is jurisdiction in

735

the within the scope of UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT of declaratory judgment claim. 1

736

Equitable Distribution Versus Estate Administration. Equitable Distribution is the process by

737

which a court divides property belonging to married couple based upon a variety of statutory

738

factors. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50-20 (c).

739

It is presumed that in-kind distribution of marital property is equitable.” The rights of the parties

740

to an equitable distribution of marital property and divisible property are a species of common

741

ownership, the rights of the respective parties vesting at the time of the parties’ separation.” Id.

742

§50-20(k). The State of North Carolina have different categories of claims are paid according to

743

statutory hierarchy, which includes the:

744

(a)

745

be paid. Eighth Class, A claim for Equitable distribution. Ninth Class, All other claims. N.C.G.

746

Stat. §28A-19-6(a) (2017). The Eighth class of claims was added to the statute in 2005, after

747

Section,50-20(L) had been amended to provide that equitable distribution claims whether

748

pending or not-yet filed at the time of a spouse’s death could be pursued against the decedent’s

749

estate. Act of July 12,2005. Pending Action is not Claim, prior to the death of spouse with respect

VI. Constitutional Provisions Involved

765

Federal court’s diversity jurisdiction applies only if a federal judge is being asked to: (1) probate

766

a will, (2) administer a decedent’s estate, or (3) interfere with property already in the custody of a

767

probate court. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) Part I explores the

768

development of the exception, with particular attention to the Supreme Court’s recent grounding

769

of the exception in the rule that one court’s assertion of in rem jurisdiction can preclude

770

another’s. Part II canvasses the lower court decisions that have followed that explanation. Those

771

decisions show uncertainty over what the “prior exclusive jurisdiction” doctrine means in

772

general, and what it means for federal question cases in particular. To address that uncertainty,

773

Part III draws on connections between in rem jurisdiction and judgments to conclude that the

41

774

prior exclusive jurisdiction doctrine is a rule of common law about the federal judicial power.

775

Unless displaced by legislation, then, the probate exception can properly limit federal jurisdiction

776

even over federal questions. And, based on the available evidence, so it does.

777

778

United States Constitution, Amendment XIV

779

All persons bom or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction, therefore, are

780

citizen of the United States of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any

781

law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall

782

any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to

783

any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the Law.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

795

796

On July 15,2020, a Sherrif Deputy Mecklenburg County Summons I, ANDRIVIA FRANCES

797

WELLS was summons with documents G.S. 1A-1, Rule 4(j)(l) (n) Asserting Jurisdiction over

798

Property or Assets. U.S. Marshall did not provide I, (“Wells”) documents. Nor, received

799

permission from my Federal Judge.

800

801

(1) Federal Law. The court may assert jurisdiction over property if authorized by a federal statute.

802

Notice to claimants of the property must be given as provided in the statute or by serving a

803

summons under this rule.

804

(2) State Law. On a showing that personal jurisdiction over a defendant cannot be obtained in the

805

district where the action is brought by reasonable efforts to serve a summons under this rule, the

806

court may assert jurisdiction over f fiduciary duty, the defendant's assets found in the district.

807

Jurisdiction is acquired by seizing the assets under the circumstances and in the manner provided

808

by state law in that district. The state judge did not ask My federal adjudicator to require my

809

presences August 8 ,2020 a Pro se extension was submitted contesting marriage and property

810

Rule 60(b). On September 09, 2020, Pro Se’ Equitable Distribution Matter was excepted. My

811

Civil Rights was violated during the proceedings of the North Carolina Chapter 50 provisions.

812

Pending the hearing, my husband Memphis Smith died domicile, prior to District Judge entering

813

an order for divisible property. The Amended Actions NC General Statute 50-20(L) (1) A claim

828

2.

The District Court’s Ruling Allowing the Government to Establish Jurisdiction.

829

The Supreme Court has articulated a “probate exception” to the federal question jurisdiction

830

extended to Article III courts by 28 U.S.C. § 1331. That exception “reserves to state probate

831

courts the probate or annulment of a will and the administration of a decedent's estate.” Marshall

832

v. Marshall, 547 U.S. 293, 296 (2006). If a statute’s language is clear and unambiguous, no

833

further analysis is necessary” and the courts must give it its plain and definite meaning.” Quality

834

Built Homes Inc. Town of Carthage,369 N.C. 15,19,789 S.E.2d 454,457(2016). Chapter 50

835

N.C.G. Statute 50-20 (1)(2) does not require surviving spouse to comply with Section 28A-19-3

836

filing notice requirements to enforce an equitable distribution order, require a federal court to

44

837

assume in rem jurisdiction over those shares, then it follows that the probate exception precludes

838

the exercise of diversity jurisdiction. In Gaines v. Fuentes, 92 U.S. 10 (1876), Marshall v.

839

Marshall, 547 U.S. 293, 296 (2006). Brown v. Brown, 353 N.C. 220.

840

841

3.

The Fourth Circuit’s Affirmance of the District Court’s Ruling

842

28 U.S.C. § 1254 determine the instruction of Constitutional Law that was violated within a

843

jurisdiction of Courts that cannot resolve an act of Law. Marshall v. Meadows, 105 F.3d 904, 906

844

(4th Cir. 1997). An “injury in fact” is “an invasion of a legally protected interest which is (a)

845

concrete and particularized ... and (b) actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical.”

846

Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560 (1992) (internal quotation marks omitted). The

847

plaintiffs have the burden of alleging sufficient facts to demonstrate standing. Marshall, 105 F.3d

848

at 906 (citing FW/PBS, Inc. v. City of Dallas, 493 U.S. 215,231 (1990)).

IX.

REASON FOR GRANTING THE WRIT

853

854

A.

855

Amendment's Equal Protection Clause can be applied to intestate succession laws, meaning they

856

cannot discriminate unfairly based on factors like gender or legitimacy of children, Fifth

857

Amendment a person cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without fair procedures and

45

To avoid erroneous deprivation of the right of a surviving spouse, the Fourteenth

858

trials. The thirteenth Amendment as a surviving spouse violation as a Natural bom Citizen my

859

Rights were deprive from immunity of State Agency.

860

In Marshall v. Marshall, 547 U.S. 293 (2006), this Court adopted a set of prophylactic measures to

861

protect the respondents In Ankenbrandt v. Richards, 504 U.S. 689, 112 S. Ct. 2206, 119 L. Ed. 2d

862

468 (1992), this Court reined in the "domestic relations exception." Earlier, in Markham v. Allen,

863

326 U.S. 490,66 S. Ct. 296,90 L. Ed. 256 (1946), the Court endeavored similarly curtail the statute

864

of State elements and Chapters of various laws that substantiate the procedures of Probate of Estate

865

and Equitable Distribution is Hierarchy within establishing Marital Property. With in the "probate

866

exception." The jurisdiction analogy has reach that curtail of the right to provide, Terry v. Sharon,

867

131 U.S. 40, 48, 9 S. Ct. 705, 707, 33 L. Ed. 94 (1889). But don’t utilize the 14th Amendment of

868

a Due Process Right to be heard within the court observed that a federal court has jurisdiction to

869

"adjudicate rights in probate property, state North Carolina is non-default state which is violation

870

of several Constitutional Rights, so as long as its final judgment does not undertake to interfere

871

with the state court's possession of the property. “Brown v. Brown, 353 N.C. 220. In order dissipate

872

the” compelling pressures which works towards undermining an individual thoughts action

873

without an attorney. The stipulation of law is a curious design to speak on defective actions that is

874

considered as effective within the Constitution of Law that is unambiguous to the indigent, or pro

875

se. To speak freely is a first amendment right. But to void an action of

876

Individuals will resist and compel her to speak where she would not be otherwise to do so freely,”

877

She was never advised by counsel what to state or claim. I will say, during various pro se motions

878

that was written under the Laws of state, and they ignored my Motions while being detained by

879

Federal government. The state did not have jurisdiction to summons I, with divorce papers.

880

Without asking for permission as a detainee.” OLD WAYNE MUT. L. ASSOC, v. McDonough,

46

881

204 U. S. 8,27 S. Ct. 236 (1907). “Judgment is a void judgment if court that rendered judgment

882

lacked jurisdiction of the subject matter, or of the parties, or acted in a manner inconsistent with

883

due process, Fed. Rules Civ. Proc., Rule 60(b)(4),28 U.S.C. A., U.S.C.A. Const.” The 14th

884

amendment of the United States Constitution gives everyone a right to due process of law, which

885

includes judgments that comply with the rules and case law. Most due process exceptions deal with

886

the issue of notification. If, for example, someone gets a judgement against you in another state

887

without your having been notified, you can attack. Quiet Title Law.”

888

§ 41-10. Titles quieted. An action may be brought by any person against another who claims an

889

claims; and by any man or woman against his or her wife or husband or alleged wife or husband

of such plaintiff might have or claim to have an interest in his or her estate, and a decree for the

afterwards acquired: Provided, that no such relief shall be granted against such husband or wife or

alleged wife or husband, except in case the summons in said action is personally served on such

896

defendant. If the defendant in such action disclaim in his answer any interest or estate in the

897

property or suffer judgment to be taken against him without answer, the plaintiff cannot recover

898

costs. In any case in which judgment has been or shall be docketed, whether such judgment is in

899

favor of or against the person bringing such action, or is claimed by him, or affects real estate

900

claimed by him, or whether such judgment is in favor of or against the person against whom such

901

action may be brought, or is claimed by him, or affects real estate claimed by him, the lien of said

902

judgment shall be such claim of an estate or interest in real estate as is contemplated by this section

903

the judgement for lack of due process of law. In Griflfen v. Grififen, 327 U.S. 220,66 S. Ct. 556,90

904

L. Ed. 635 a pro se litigant won his case in the Supreme Court who stated. During the Probate

905

Estate a Notice was not provided to me, during my incarceration. We were married for seven years

906

counting the two years of common law. The Family Court ignored my Motions during the judicial

907

proceeding, and she rendered an order during my absence of 41 (b). I was not notified of the Court

908

date nor was I, informed of the order. Until was released from F.B.O.P. custody and was transferred

909

the Federal Halfway house that is when I, read the file and informed the North Carolina Bar of her

910

misconducted and constitutional violation. During the years of fighting and laps of time and on the

verge of nervous breakdown .Because ,1 need for judicial system to hear my voice and North

914

reference to a surviving spouse I, asserted a FRCP RULE 60(b) FRCP Rule 60(b) provides that the

915

court may relieve a party from a final judgment and sets forth the following six categories of

916

reasons for which such relief.

917

may be granted: (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; (2) newlydiscovered

918

evidence which by due diligence could not have been discovered in time, to move for a new trial

919

under Rule 59; (3) fraud, misrepresentation, or misconduct by an adverse party:

920

(4) circumstances under which a judgment is void; (5) circumstances under which a judgment

921

has been satisfied, released, or discharged, or a prior judgment upon?

922

Which it is based has been reversed or otherwise vacated, or it is no longer equitable that.

923

the judgment should have prospective application; or (6) any other reason justifying relief.

924

from the operation of the judgment. F.R.C.P. Rule 60(b)(1) -(b)(6). To be entitled to relief, the

925

moving party must establish facts within one of the reasons enumerated in Rule 60(b). Prior to

my husband answering the assert he passed domicile. Within Law of North Carolina, it states I,

927

have a vested right, interest, or title, and not taken away or “divested.” There is a third-party

928

property that my husband explained to me in reference to the name on the commercial property I,

929

help pay taxes on the easement of 30 years I, have a vested interest and right the Quiet Title

930

Laws § 1-40. Twenty years adverse possession. No action for the recovery or possession of real

931

property, or the issues and profits thereof, shall be maintained when the person in possession

932

thereof, or defendant in the action, or those under whom he claims, has possessed the property

933

under known and visible lines and boundaries adversely to all other persons for 20 years; and

934

such possession so held gives a title in fee to the possessor, in such property, against all persons

935

not under disability.

936

. Quiet Title Law§ 41-10. Titles quieted. An action may be brought by any person against another

937

who claims an estate or interest in real property adverse to him for the purpose of determining

938

such adverse claims; and by any man or woman against his or her wife or husband or alleged

939

wife or husband who have not lived together as man and wife within the two years preceding,

940

and who at the death of such plaintiff might have or claim to have an interest in his or her estate,

941

and a decree for the plaintiff shall debar all claims of the defendant in the property of the plaintiff

942

944

personally served on such defendant. If the defendant in such action disclaim in his answer any

945

interest or estate in the property or suffer judgment to be taken against him without answer, the

946

plaintiff cannot recover costs. In any case in which judgment has been or shall be docketed,

whether such judgment is in favor of or against the person bringing such action, or is claimed by

948

him, or affects real estate claimed by him, or whether such judgment is in favor of or against the

person against whom such action may be brought, or is claimed by him, or affects real estate

950

claimed by him, the lien of said judgment shall be such claim of an estate or interest in real estate

951

as is contemplated by this section. However, in Upchurch v. Upchurch, 122 NC App 172

952

(1996)(Upchurch I), the court of appeals held that ownership for purposes of ED includes both

953

legal and equitable ownership and recognized that within the context of an ED proceeding, a

954

court has the equitable authority to impose a constructive or resulting trust upon property legally

955

owned by someone other than a spouse. While in other situations a party has a right to have a

956

jury determine whether grounds exist for the imposition of a trust, the Supreme Court held in

957

Sharp v. Sharp, 351 NC 37 (1999), that there is no jury trial right when the issue arises in the

958

context of an ED case. The judge rather than the jury must decide whether a trust should be

959

imposed.

960

The court of appeals also has held that a trial court can impose a trust on property owned by a

961

third party even if neither spouse expressly requests that relief in a pleading. Weatherford v.

962

Keenan, 128 NC App 178 (1998).

963

If the trial court finds grounds to impose a trust, the court can order the title to the property be

964

conveyed to one or both spouses and classified as marital property. Gragg v. Gragg, 94 NC App

965

134 (1989).

966

Andrivia Frances Wells, the plaintiff-appellant, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the

967

Mecklenburg County Clerk of Probate Estates, Memphis L. Smith, Jr., and Audris Veronica Ford

968

Asmond. The case was initially heard by the United States District Court for the Western District

969

of North Carolina, where the district judge, Max O. Cogbum, Jr., dismissed the action for failure

970

to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The claim was third-party property that held

971

the or name of her(“Wells”) brother-in-law estate name. The Plaintiff-Appellant, Andrivia

50

972

Frances Wells husband possess the property and paid off the mortgage that was claimed contract

973

within him and his brother. Mecklenburg County Probate of Estate would not let me reopen the

974

Estate, our system of government "requires that federal courts on occasion interpret the

975

Constitution in a manner at variance with the construction given the document by another

976

branch." Powell v. McCormack, supra, at 549. And in Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S., at 211, the Court

977

stated:

978

"Deciding whether a matter has in any measure been committed by the Constitution to another

979

branch of government, or whether the action of that branch exceeds whatever authority has been

980

committed, is itself a delicate exercise in constitutional interpretation, and is a responsibility of

981

this Court as ultimate interpreter of the Constitution."

982

Askew v. City of Kinston, 902 S.E.2d 722(N.C. 2024), and Kinsley v. Ace Speedway Racing,

983

Ltd., 904 S.E.2d 720(N.C. 2024).

984

The crux of the appellate court's decision rested on the timeliness of the notice of appeal filed by

985

Wells. According to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure v Ma4(a)(l)(A), a party has 30 days

986

after the entry of the district court's final judgment or order to file a notice of appeal. Wells filed

987

the notice of appeal 33 days after the district court's order, missing the 30-day deadline. The

988

appellant did not seek an extension or reopening of the appeal period as allowed under Federal

989

Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) or 4(a)(6).

990

See, United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 705-707 (1974).

991

“Whether the federal courts should be especially alert to avoid undue interference with the

992

state judicial system flowing from demands upon state judges to appear as witnesses need not be

993

addressed at this time.”

51

994

Judicial immunity attaches only to actions undertaken in a judicial capacity. Forrester v. White,

995

484 U.S. 219, 227-229 (1988). In determining whether an action is "judicial," we consider the

996

nature of the act and whether it is a "function normally performed by a judge." Stump v.

997

Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349,362(1978).

998

999

Page 14 See also Supreme Court of Virginia v. Consumers Union of United States, Inc., 446 U.S.

1000

719, 736-737 (1980) (judge not entitled to judicial immunity when acting in enforcement

1001

capacity); cf. Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 520-524 (1985) (Attorney General not

1002

absolutely immune when performing "national security," rather than prosecutorial, function).

1003

Moreover, even if the act is "judicial," judicial immunity does not attach if the judge is acting in

1004

the " clear absence of all jurisdictions."' Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S., at 357 (quoting Bradley

1005

v. Fisher, 13 Wall. 335, 351 (1872)).

1006

The Fourth Circuit panel, including Circuit Judges King and Rushing, and Senior Circuit Judge

1007

Motz, upheld that the timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional

1008

requirement, citing Bowles v. Russell. Consequently, the court found that it lacked jurisdiction to

1009

hear the appeal due to the untimely notice of appeal filed by Wells. The panel dismissed the

1010

appeal without oral argument, stating that the facts and legal contentions were adequately

1011

presented in the materials before the court and that oral argument would not aid the decisional

1012

process.

1013

If you are a Surviving Spouse, you have rights that can benefit you from many different sources

1014

and bodies of law. You should contact Jet Probate immediately whether you were named as a

1015

Beneficiary of your Spouse’s Will or whether or not your loved one even had a Will3. Courts will

52

1016

look at state law for guidance on who to appoint but typically the law will provide for the

1017

following people: surviving spouse, children, parents of the decedent, the decedent’s siblings, or

1018

the decedent’s grandchildren-! If a will attempts to disinherit a spouse in some way, the spouse

1019

may be protected by state law. Each state has laws regarding spousal inheritance, which

1020

generally follow one of three approaches: the traditional spousal share approach, the augmented

1021

estate approach, or the community property approach. Like credibility determinations, the weight

1022

of the evidence is a matter left to the finder of fact, and this Court does not reweigh the evidence

1023

produced at trial or substitute its judgment for that of the finder of fact. See, e.g., In re Patron,

1024

250 N.C. App. 375, 384, 792 S.E.2d 853, 860 (2016).

1025

The son which the judicial system of the probate of Estate was provided letters by judge. Marital

1026

property fraudulently sold Jurisdiction of the person was essential to a valid order. Stancill v.

1027

Gay, supra. See, Grasty v. Grasty, 125 N.C. App. 736, 739, 482 S.E.2d 752, 754 (trial court did

1028

not err in failing to value husband’s business

1029

when only evidence offered was “wholly incredible and without reasonable basis”), review

1030

denied, 346 N.C. 278, 487 S.E.2d 545 (1997)

1031

McLeod v. McLeod, 74 N.C. App. 144, 327 S.E.2d 910 (1985), The Company I provided

1032

interest, money, and equipment. Every year I paid the Secretary of Estate to L.L.C. and property

1033

taxes on Commercial Property and personal property.

1034

In 2003, the General Assembly amended Section 50-20 to add the following pertinent

1035

language: Chapter 50-20 (1)(1) A claim for equitable distribution, whether an action is filed or

1036

not, survives the death of a spouse so long as the parties are living separate and apart at the time

1037

ofdeath.(2) The provisions of Article 19 of Chapter 28 A of the General Statutes shall be

53

1038

applicable to a claim for equitable dist. If a statute’s language is clear and unambiguous, no

1039

further analysis is necessary “and the courts must give it its plain and definite meaning.

1040

distribution against the estate of the deceased spouse. See, SMITH v. RODGERS | 824 S.E.2d

1041

155(2019).

1042

'[T]he timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement.' - Bowles

1043

v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205,214 (2007).

1044

The key notes: Judge of the Appellate Courts violated my Constitutional Right. I was being

1045

released from Federal custody. I was living in a home with no electricity. Because the individuals

1046

that resided in my home during COVID-19 was stealing power and I had Duke Energy to come

1047

to an agreement with me. They were fixing on the issue for six-months. The lines that were cut.

1048

I asked them to place them underground. I, give it to God, they did not charge me for the Labor.

1049

I, had to pay for various permits and I purchase the material. For the License Electrician to

1050

complete the task. That was strenuous within a home that was cold and there were days when its

1051

rain. God have favor on me.

1052

'Because Wells failed to file a timely notice of appeal or to obtain an extension or reopening of

1053

the appeal period, we dismiss the appeal.' - Per Curium Opinion. The Appeal dismissed within an

1054

order that I waited in the mail to receive an answer of the Notice. The Jurisdiction of the Action

1055

of a Federal Judge that is Article III for disturbing a Probate Action of Caveators Fraudulently

1056

sold my property. I wrote the state judge - up for not complying to Equitable Distribution Action.

1057

This case presents this Court with an opportunity to clarify the Equitable Distribution Action

1058

and Estate Claim.

54

1059

1983 Civil Rights Violation “initiation” standard in the face of the Law of Marshall v Marshall

1060

rule. Absent intervention by this Court, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals published the

1061

decision will work to undermine the carefully crafted procedural safeguards that this Court has

1062

spent the past years within the interlocutory of state and federal laws adopt a solution of trust

1063

that’s not an heir. The intestate share of a surviving spouse who was married to the decedent for

1064

at least 15 years in state of North Carolina, NC Gen St 29-1 to 29-30.

1065

1066

Conclusion

1067

Marital Properties that were distributed within arms of the interlocutory provisions was illegal

1068

and I want my marital property to return the third-party property and other initial property that’s

1069

mines within eye of the NCGS and the Constitution of Law. The 6th, the 5th, and the 14th

1070

Amendment Violation of the Constitution. I hope to God you all hear my cry and grant me. My

1071

properties and surviving spousal rights.
