Questions presented
-
Whether this Court should grant Certiorari to review the Ninth Circuit’s holdings that because of Judge Cowan’s judicial immunity, the doctrine of respondeat superior did not apply to Petitioner’s Title II ADA claim, even though that decision conflicts with the decisions of the Fourth, Sixth, and Eleventh Circuits, together with this court’s decision on judicial immunity in Pulliam v. Allen?
-
Whether this court should grant Certiorari to review the Ninth Circuit’s refusal to decide that Petitioner should have been able to seek prospective declaratory relief against a sitting judge on his § 1983 Civil Rights claims even though nine of the thirteen circuits have all held that such relief is available?
