Whether the Appellate Court erred in failing to shift the burden to the Defendant's once Mr. Faver established a sincerely held belief that was burdended by the Defendant's single vendor policy
QUESTIONS PRESENTED The following question stems from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ Published Opinion regarding claims asserted by Mr. Faver: 1. Whether the Appellate Court erred in failing to shift the burden to the Defendant’s once Mr. Faver established a sincerely held belief that was burdended by the Defendant’s single vendor policy. 2. Whether the Appellate Court erred in failing to find that the District Court clearly erred when it found that the Defendant had considered and rejected a contract with an Islamic vendor as a reasonable less restrictive alternative.
