Tamara Baines v. City of Atlanta, Georgia, et al.

QUESTION 1 To Respondent Robin Shahar: Whether the “some harm” standard articulated by this Court in Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, 601 U.S. 346 (2024) applies to sexual harassment claims (both tangible employment action and hostile work environment) under the Equal Protection Clause to the United State Constitution through 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (“Title VII”) in analyzing whether an employee has been subjected to both a hostile work environment and tangible employment action sexual harassment. QUESTION 2 To Respondent City of Atlanta: Whether a municipality’s mere adoption of a sexual harassment policy shields it from 42 U.S.C. § 1983 liability under this Court’s precedents in Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658, 694 (1978) and City of St. Louis v. Praprotnik, 485 U.S. 112, 127 (1988) or whether the municipality must also enforce and not intentionally violate the policy to avoid liability. QUESTION 3 To Respondent City of Atlanta: Whether a charging party’s correction of a technical defect in a timely amendment to a charge of discrimination relates back to the date of filing of the original charge.
