Whether review is warranted for sanctions against pro se plaintiff

QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s grant of Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss and for Summary Judgment, and the granting of sanctions against the pro se Plaintiff for discovery practices. The following questions are presented: 1. Whether review is warranted because the Court of Appeals affirmed a _ sanction of $61,605.25 in attorney’s fees against a pro se Plaintiff for an alleged failure to follow discovery rules under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(g), Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2) and the Court’s inherent power? 2. Whether review is warranted to clarify the appropriate motion to dismiss standard as the Court of Appeals held that an employment discrimination plaintiff must do more in his complaint than put his employer on notice than he was the victim of unlawful conduct, i.e. must he also satisfy some heightened fact pleading requirement in order to withstand his employer’s motion to dismiss.
