Dred Scott was the famous slave who sued to gain his freedom and was denied by the US Supreme Court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857). The decision in this case is considered one of the catalysts of the US Civil War.

Is there a lawsuit between Americans for Freedom of Information and Barack Obama in the US Supreme Court?

No. According to Factcheck.org, the AP story about the lawsuit was an April Fool's hoax, and the group Americans for Freedom of Information does not exist (or didn't at the time the rumor was originally circulated). The US Supreme Court has already rejected numerous cases challenging Obama's citizenship, and has clearly signaled it does not consider the question valid.
