Chelsea A. Hamilton v. David Steiner, Postmaster General
I. Did the Fifth Circuit err in affirming the dismissal of
Hamilton's Title VI retaliation claim by improperly
requiring proof of causation inconsistent with
Supreme Court precedent?
II. Did the lower courts misapply procedural standards
by dismissing Hamilton's wrongful termination
claim without considering her allegations under
Title VII?
III. Did the district court's rejection of the tamperingwith-evidence claim under Bivens v. Six Unknown
Named Agents and the Federal Tort Claims Act
(FTCA) fail to account for due process violations?
IV. Did the court improperly dismiss the duty of fair
representation claim by applying an unduly
restrictive interpretation of union responsibilities?
V. Were Hamilton's judicial bias allegations improperly
disregarded, despite her assertions of misconduct
and procedural irregularities?
VI. Did the district court's procedural delays and rulings
prejudice Hamilton's rights under federal law and
due process principles?
