Question presented
Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit erred in holding that a Designated Agency Ethics Official, who is government attorney, owes no duty of care to a former agency employee in providing legal counsel to the former employee? Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit erred in holding that the statute of limitations for Bivens claims is determined by the statute of limitations from the state where the claim was filed rather than the state in which the cause of action arose?
