Joseph W. Wade v. Walter T. Mosley, New York Secretary of State, et al.

Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, against state officials in ‘official capacity,’ does Article III standing require proof that the final outcome of a ‘discrete governmental decision’ would be different if-not-butfor a ‘race and sex conscious technical framework,’ or is it sufficient to show an existence of ‘differential treatment’ and an ‘inability to compete on equal footing’ if-iiot-but-for a ‘race and sex conscious technical framework?’

Does a prayer for “compensatory relief’ exclude all viable remedies in law and equity under § 1983, against state officers in ‘official capacity?’
