Question Presented (from Petition)

(1) Was the Trial Court's denial of the Petitioner's
Motion for Summary Judgment and Request for Hearing without granting the Petitioner a Hearing he requested, legally correct when Maryland Rule 2311(f£) requires the Trial Court to hold a Hearing before rendering a decision disposing of a claim or a defense?

(2) Petitioner's evidence raised substantial issues of
fact as to whether Petitioner was Fired/Retired because of a Subjective belief, and if so, whether his Discharge/Retirement eventuated from the Racial
Disadvantage permitting a White Woman in his Patrol
Unit where a Hand Gun was Found while assisting
this Person from and to Police Units. See, (Battle v.
Mult clland, 429. F.2d 321, C. A. Miss. 19971.)

(3) Whether State Respondents knew or reasonably
should have known that the Action they took within
their shear of Official responsibility when they evicted
Petitioner from Public Market would violate Constitutional Rights of Petitioner and whether Respondents
took such Action with Malicious Intention to cause a
Deprivation of Constitutional Rights or Other Injury
to Petitioner are Questions of Fact. See, (Wilder v.
Irvin, 423 F. Supp. 639 (N.D. Ga. 1976.)
