Questions presented
-
Should the Court address Justice Blackmun’s criticism of the “broad dictum” of Anderson v. City of Bessemer City, N.C., 470 U.S. 564, 581- 582 (1985) (J. Blackmun, concurring), which permitted F.R.C.P. 52(a)’s “clearly erroneous” standard of review to be applied in a purely historical document evidence case?
-
Is “plausible” the correct standard of review under Rule 52(a) in an historical document case interpreting and applying the Title 43 U.S.C. §1313(a) language “all lands filled in, built up, or otherwise reclaimed by the United States for its own use?”
