IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 25-1143 · judgment November 25, 2025


Pending

Questions presented

  1. Whether a court may defeat a Title VII hostile work environment claim on summary judgment by parsing the record incident by incident instead of evaluating the totality of the circumstances.

  2. Whether a Title VII disparate treatment claim may be defeated at the prima facie stage by treating comparator evidence as an inflexible prerequisite under McDonnell Douglas.

  3. Whether, after Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, a forced transfer is nonactionable whenever pay and benefits remain unchanged.

  4. Whether Title VII retaliation protection covers internal reporting, advocacy for coworkers, and related opposition when the employer fires the employee for that speech and assistance.
