Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Enclave Clause limits federal jurisdiction over employment discrimination cases where the plaintiff and defendants did not work on or suffer injury on a federal enclave

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED The Enclave Clause of the United States Constitution imposes limits on federal jurisdiction over federally owned land acquired from a state. See U.S. Const., art. I, § 8, cl. 17. A “federal enclave” is a building or geographical area within a state that is under the control of a branch of the federal government and over which the United States government has declared jurisdiction. The question presented here is: Whether this Court should limit the reach of federal enclave jurisdiction in an employment discrimination case in which Petitioner and the individual Respondents did not work on the federal enclave and Petitioner did not suffer injury on the federal enclave.
