1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
The district court dismissed Ruby Helm’s suit against the Resolution Trust Corporation for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Helm filed a motion for relief from judgment under Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(1) and (6) on the ground that she had mistakenly cited the wrong statute in her complaint.
