Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a civil litigant’s right to trial by jury under the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is violated when a United States District Court granting summary judgment ignores the non-moving party’s evidence and adopts the moving party’s version of the facts, and when a United States Court of Appeals summarily affirms such a summary judgment without conducting a meaningful de novo review. 2. Whether, in particular, Thomas Sander’s right to trial by jury under the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was violated by the misuse of the summary judgment procedure in this federal civil rights case.
