Questions presented
The following question stems from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ Published Opinion regarding claims asserted by Mr. Faver:
-
Whether the Appellate Court erred in failing to shift the burden to the Defendant’s once Mr. Faver established a sincerely held belief that was burdended by the Defendant’s single vendor policy.
-
Whether the Appellate Court erred in failing to find that the District Court clearly erred when it found that the Defendant had considered and rejected a contract with an Islamic vendor as a reasonable less restrictive alternative.
