Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the First Circuit deprived Petitioner of her constitutional right to a jury trial

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED A. Whether the First Circuit deprived Petitioner of her constitutional right to a jury trial when it massaged the facts in violation of Rule 56 and , thus, dismissed her employment discrimination and retaliation claims. B. Whether this Court should exercise its supervisory power and provide effective means to hold lower courts accountable by requiring them to spell out their analysis regarding whether genuine issues exist, as a prerequisite to granting summary judgment. C. In the alternative, whether the First Circuit's massaging of the facts and misapprehension of the governing standard warrants summary reversal.
