Questions presented

  1. Whether the Second Circuit erred in dismissing David Solomon’s claims when uncontroverted evidence existed that he invoked federal jurisdiction first and that he was never given a meaningful hearing in a New York administrative forum, thus denying him due process?

  2. Whether the Second Circuit erred in denying David Solomon leave to amend his complaint to state a claim for religious discrimination?

  3. Whether the Second Circuit erred in denying David Solomon any relief from bad-faith litigation conduct including the intentional destruction of surveillance video and other information that would have enabled David Solomon to identify and sue persons who falsely accused him of committing crimes?
