Question Presented (from Petition)

Do Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 protect a Black employee from retaliation for taking a stance against being stereotypically and disparately treated as the "help/house slave" for the non-Black team members of JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s Asset Management Counterparty Risk Group and for filing a charge reporting the said discrimination and retaliation to the EEOC?

Were my rights violated by JPMorgan Chase & Co., et al when as the only Black analyst in the Asset Management Counterparty Risk Group, I was switched to a low performing, subpar Black employee who had never managed anyone before to be my manager, restricted of and/or denied privileges such as the company's work from home benefit, the enjoyment of being occasionally freed from doing "less desirable work" and the benefit of sponsorship and financial assistance with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exams that the non-Black analysts and/or associates of the group had access to/enjoyed?

Did the District Court abuse its discretion in granting Defendants' JPMorgan Chase & Co., et al's August 1, 2017 Letter Motion to arbitrarily strike my issued Subpoena and all my Oppositions/Responses (including my Affidavits and Exhibits) to their Motion for Summary Judgment to dismiss my Employment Racial Discrimination and Retaliation lawsuit against them with prejudice without a valid and/or legal explanation and without convening a hearing for me to argue against the said motion?

Did six (6) of the eight (8) Defendants/Declarants for whom overwhelming proof was provided that they lied in their 28 U.S. Code §1746 Declarations commit the crime of perjury?

Did JPMorgan Chase obstruct justice by using three of its 28 U.S. Code §1746 Defendants/Declarants to lie on their behalf under penalty of perjury?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
