Questions presented
-
Whether the Fifth Circuit erred in affirming summary judgment where the record contains genu ine disputes of material fact, in conflict with this Court’s precedent requiring that evidence be viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.
-
Whether the Fifth Circuit misapplied the bur den-shifting framework under McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U. S. 792 (1973), by effectively re quiring Petitioner to disprove the employer’s stated reasons rather than allowing a jury to determine pre text.
-
Whether the Fifth Circuit improperly applied forfeiture principles to a pro se litigant in a manner inconsistent with this Court’s directive that pro se fil ings be liberally construed.
