Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the lower federal courts err in not permitting petitioner's claims for injunctive relief against a state branch if the ongoing state proceedings violate his U.S. constitutional rights?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Questions Presented 1. Did the lower federal courts err in not permitting petitioner's claims for injunctive relief against a state branch if the ongoing state proceedings violate his U.S. constitutional rights? 2. Can the Seventh Circuit rule a pro se Title VII claim appeal frivolous, fine him $21,350, and impose a filing bar preventing him from litigating an ongoing Title VII Right to Sue claim if the grounds upon the dismissal include disputable judicial noticed facts without an : opportunity to be heard, juxtaposes a prior state court ruling, and ignores material errors? 3. Did the lower federal courts err in dismissing an ongoing injunctive relief claim required by state statute to be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction relating to an ongoing Title VI] post-harassment claim and unchallenged in a motion to dismiss? 4. Did the lower federal courts err in dismissing a Title VII claim on the same state procedural grounds a state court previously used to deny a motion to amend to add the Title VII claim? 5. Can the dismissal of state claims in state court be used for res judicata purposes to dismiss a separately filed related Title VII claim removed to federal court after the state court used its own rules and procedures to deny adding the related Title VI claim? 6. Does a defendant acquiesce to Title VII claim-splitting by agreement, litigating separate . cases, or afguing against a motion to amend to add a Title VII claim citing state court procedures before removing the Title VII claim to federal court? : : 7. Did the lower courts err in denying petitioner the right to sue a judicial hearing officer for injunctive relief presiding over a state administrative dismissal hearing being used outside its statutory authority to violate petitioner’s U.S. constitutional and Title VII rights? 8. Does petitioner’s complaint warrant a complete reset upon learning the presiding judge has a ; former law firm partner who’d be a material character witness had he not dismissed the case? i : Il. |
