Second Circuit opinion here.
Questions presented:
1. Whether a summary judgment motion which turns on the adequacy of plaintiffs’ evidence of intentional discrimination must be denied where a “plausible” inference of invidious intent can be drawn from all of the evidence, circumstantial and direct, taken as a whole?
2. Whether this Court should resolve a conflict among the circuits on the issue of what standards to apply in considering the strength of summary judgment evidence in cases of alleged intentional discrimination?
3. Whether Congress’s enactment of 25 U.S.C. §232 obviated any distinctions based on geography or sovereignty regarding New York’s duty to provide police protection to Native Americans residents of reservations within the State?
