Questions presented
-
Whether the Second Circuit, in a “stigma-plus” case, erred in affirming the District Court’s dismissal of Petitioner’s procedural Due Process claim by applying a temporal proximity test to find, as a matter of law, no causative nexus between defamatory statements concerning petitioner and the denial of the Plaintiff’s legal entitlements?
-
Whether the Second Circuit erred in not according the pleaded deprivations the deference they were entitled to under this Court’s precedent?
