After the dismissal of her complaint, Qiu found the interviewed Salyer who failed chemistry Praxis heavily was white online. Qiu put her found in her 59(e) motion to alter the dismissal order. The district court denied Qiu’s 59(e) motion and dismissed the complaint. The 6th Circuit affirmed the dismissal. Question 1. Should a plaintiffs response to the motion to dismiss be converted to a summary motion when some of the evidence are “the matters outside the pleadings”? Question 2. Can a Rule 59(e) motion of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure function as a summary motion when setting up prima facie? Question 3. Can a sanction motion be denied based on other decisions instead of the facts and laws in the sanction motion? Question 4. Did the judges violate Qiu’s Constitutional right to due process and equal protection of the laws in Section 1 of Amendment XIV? Were the judges against the Rule of Law?
