Question presented

Was the 9th Circuit Panel's Decision a Politically Charged Decision that Assumed the Role of a Fact Finder, as Asserted by the Dissent? Was the existence of an employment contract or the terms of such a contract for these two government attorneys a question of fact for a jury? Was Petitioner Alexander's Notice of Claim sufficient under the law? Are the Issues Presented by this Case of Exceptional Importance Due to the Precedent it Sets For Government Attorneys? Did an Arizona Justice Now on the 9th Circuit Demonstrate Bias at Oral Argument and Ignore His Prior Involvement with the State Court Action?
