Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED , 1.

Should this Court provide renewed and much needed guidance to inferior federal courts so that summary judgment is no longer misused to weigh evidence, make credibility determinations, find facts and impose on this Title VII plaintiff a more onerous burden of proof than the process demands in order to deny his discrimination claims without a trial? i
