Questions presented
-
Whether the First Circuit’s application of waiver to refuse to review a district court’s decision holding that a contract is required to assert a claim for prohibited interference with the right to 'make and enforce contracts' under Section 1981 is contrary to this Court’s precedents and decisions of other circuit courts of appeals.
-
Whether the First Circuit’s refusal to review a district court’s decision granting summary judgment by holding that a contract is required to assert a claim for prohibited interference with the right to 'make and enforce contracts' under Section 1981 has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings as to call for the exercise of this Court’s supervisory powers.
