Question presented

t;e$ 21 1. Whether the Honorable Judge Easterbrook and the Honorable Judge Wood of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals should have voluntarily recused themselves in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 455(a) because Jafri had previously been reprimanded by them, they had to vacate their reprimand, and this ordeal received attention from the media. 2. Whether the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division erred in dismissing Jafri’s Illinois Human Rights Act claims (Counts III and IV) and in granting summary judgment to Defendant in Jafri’s Illinois Equal Pay Act claims (Counts I and II), and whether the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals erred in affirming the District Court as Jafri pleaded sufficient facts to show harassment, and these facts should be considered in the aggregate to support the Equal Pay Act claim.
