Question presented

Whether the Seventh Amendment permits the waiver of a jury trial through a standard lease provision without an explicit, voluntary, and knowing waiver, or written stipulation on record? Whether a district court violates Article III of the Constitution and the Federal Magistrates Act by referring case matters to a magistrate judge for actions beyond the scope of the parties' explicit written consent? Whether a court violates a litigant's Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to Due Process by imposing monetary sanctions directly upon the litigant for discovery delays caused by retained counsel? Whether a tenant’s request for reasonable accommodation or modification made during a HUD-conducted conciliation process constitutes a formal, actionable request under the Fair Housing Act? Whether the Fair Housing Act imposes a duty on housing providers to open dialogue and engage in a timely interactive process with tenants requesting reasonable accommodation or modifications? Whether a federal court may exercise its inherent equity power in an independent action to protect the integrity of the judicial system from fraud upon a court, even when the underlying judgment originated in a state court?
