Questions presented

  1. Did the Fifth Circuit deviate from paramountcy of Supremacy Clause, federal laws and this Court’s on-the merits-based final pretrial judgment precedent when it adopted the district court’s qualified immunity-based summary judgement in favor of a non-State, non­ governmental, non-open-enrollment Defendant and its employee, in the absence of a clearly established applicable law?

  2. Did the Fifth Circuit diverge from accurate interpretation of the clearly estabfished EEOC’s and TWC’s statute of limitations for Title VII, state-laws tort and § 1981 claims when it opined affirming the district court’s “time-barred” ground entry of summary judgment, unmindful of Appellant’s timely and distinctly filed lawsuit in federal and state courts?
