Questions presented
This case poses multiple questions due to on going and continuous instances of conduct rising to a level of discrimination, harassment, intimidation, and retaliation litigation proceedings back to 2005 throughout 2019. Petitioners have originally filed a legal action in U.S. District Court in October 10, 2008 (see related case).
-
May a federal court ever grant a motion for relief from judgment under Federal Rule of Civil procedure 60(b) in a case involving legal error?
-
Whether the district court erred in denying pro se plaintiffs’ “motion for leave to amend” arising from “newly discovered evidence” and “continuous and on going” instances of discrimination, harassment, intimidation, and retaliation?
-
Whether the Ninth Circuit’s decision conflicts with its own and this Court’s precedents?
-
Whether petitioners have satisfied discrimination, harassment, intimidation, and retaliation aspects giving rise to a “hostile work environment claim”?
-
Is statistical data produced by petitioners-plaintiffs clearly supporting “disparate treatment” or “selective treatment” by opposing party admissible in federal court?
-
Does this case provide a direct opportunity to settle an issue of public interest and matter of public concern? Page 3
