Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in affirming summary judgment against an employee alleging workplace discrimination, retaliation, and emotional distress claims

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in affirming the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Wells Fargo on Buhagiar's claims of discrimination and retaliation under Title VII, § 1981, and the ADA, despite evidence suggesting she was performing according to the employer's legitimate expectations and had engaged in protected activities. 2. Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in rejecting Buhagiar's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in a civil case, despite alleged mishandling by her previous attorney that may have impacted the outcome. 3. Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in affirming summary judgment on Buhagiar's claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress under Arizona law, given the alleged extreme and outrageous conduct by Wells Fargo.
