Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, No. 17-1431 · judgment July 27, 2018
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
A. Whether the First Circuit deprived Petitioner of her constitutional right to a jury trial when it massaged the facts in violation of Rule 56 and , thus, dismissed her employment discrimination and retaliation claims. B. Whether this Court should exercise its supervisory power and provide effective means to hold lower courts accountable by requiring them to spell out their analysis regarding whether genuine issues exist, as a prerequisite to granting summary judgment. C. In the alternative, whether the First Circuit's massaging of the facts and misapprehension of the governing standard warrants summary reversal.
