Question Presented (AI Summary)

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED Did the Americans with Disability Act violate the sovereign immunity doctrine of the 11" : Amendment when, based on Congress’s 14" Amendment enforcement powers of the Due Process Clause, it allowed individuals to sue states for denying them services based on their | disabilities? Under the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disability Act ..., can Brandon Bowie : establish that Hamilton County Juvenile Court (HCIC) with his right | to be reasonably accommodated in order to participate in court proceedings that Bowie initiated. | HCIJC granted/signed Bowie’s reasonable accommodation prior to hearing but then abruptly denied those same accommodation at hearing time which essentially resulted in a breach of contract by the court resulting in denied court access, further, this case could impact hundreds, if not thousands of disabled individuals who are being denied due process and equal protection under the law in Cincinnati, Ohio. Whether the District Court erred by dismissing Bowie’s disability case, District Judge Barrett on 3/22/2019 allowed his disability discrimination case to proceed against HCJC, et al, however, Magistrate Bowman overruled Judge Barrett’s decision, can a Magistrate overrule a District Judge, then strategically switch the case to another judge, Judge McFarland who promptly dismissed Bowie’s case without answering how a Magistrate can overrule a District Judge. 7 Ye V.
