Questions presented
-

-
Where Congress has provided that the United States district courts shall have jurisdiction over a cause of action brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, can a district court decline the exercise of that jurisdiction as a matter of discretion?
-
Does a Rule 60(b)(6) requirement that a motion be filed within a reasonable time commence at the time a case is originally dismissed on forum non conveniens or when the alternative forum proves to have been unavailable?
-
Under what circumstances and procedures can a Title VII or ADEA complaint dismissed on forum non conveniens return to the district court where the alternative forum ultimately proves unavailable?
