Steven Douglas Coleman v. Maria Kim Grand

Whether a court may grant summary judgment by resolving disputed material facts, disregarding contradictory sworn testimony from both parties and record evidence submitted by the non-moving party, while simultaneously asserting that no genuine dispute of material fact exists—contrary to this Court’s decisions in Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., Tolan v. Cotton, and Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Inc.

Whether accusations alleging coerced and unwanted sexual conduct may be treated as nonactionable “opinion” under Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Co. when the accuser withholds material, known facts that directly contradict the factual premise of those accusations.

Whether a court of appeals exceeds its authority at the summary-judgment stage by rewriting the record, reinterpreting plain language, and relying on extra-record facts to resolve a disputed accusation of illegal conduct.

Whether persistent legal error—expressly identified with record citations in a petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc and left uncorrected—warrants this Court’s review to reaffirm settled constitutional and procedural limits on judicial factfinding.
