Brandon E. Ogbolu v. Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, et al.

The questions presented are:

1. Whether lower courts have a constitutional duty to sua sponte assess all unlawful conduct and harm to the public interest present in cases brought before them and subsequently raise all viable claims that may have been missed or inadequately pleaded by a party, regardless of whether the party is represented by counsel or proceeding pro se.

2. Whether a private settlement harms the public interest when the underlying conduct that led to the contract formation constitutes acts of felonies that harm the public.

3. Whether the Second Circuit and District Court erred in dismissing Petitioner’s disability discrimination and emotional distress claims while

4. refusing to define and conceptualize the integral psychological condition and symptoms; (2) disregarding the circumstantial evidence in the record that demonstrates discriminatory intent; and

5. requiring Petitioner to identify similarly situated, non-disabled individuals who received better treatment than he did.
