Question Presented (from Petition)
Does a state law that sets a time limit on when an action may be filed under the Uniformed Services Reserve Reemployment Act, Title 38 U.S.C. §§ 4301, et seq., (USERRA Act), frustrate the full effectiveness of the purpose of the Act, and thus violate the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution?
