| Question presented | Howard Gensler, Petitioner v. South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees, et al.1. Does the First Amendment prevent a college from employing a harassment policy to terminate a faculty member for true college lecture statements, symbolic clothing, non-sexual, non-racial epithets, and profanity? 2. Does due process require establishment of jurisdiction? 3. Does equal protection prevent woke college administrators and judges from ignoring the law to terminate a male community college faculty member? | Olamide Olatayo Bello v. United States1. Whether the dismissal of a criminal appeal for failure to respond to a notice that Petitioner never received while in a facility he was in the process of leaving, during continuous Bureau of Prisons custody, violated the Due Process Clause under Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306 (1950), and the right to a first appeal of right recognized in Evitts v. Lucey, 469 U.S. 387 (1985), and Rodriquez v. United States, 395 U.S. 327 (1969). 2. Whether the loss of an entire first appeal of right through court-created notice failure constitutes structural error under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), requiring reinstatement without a showing of prejudice. 3. Whether the Fifth Circuit’s reinstatement of other appeals following materially identical notice failures, while denying Petitioner relief, denies the equal protection of the laws guaranteed against the federal Government through the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. | Kevin Lee Biglow, Petitioner v. Dell Technologies Inc.1. Whether an arbitral tribunal exceeds its powers under 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(4) by dismissing Title VII civil rights claims on limitations grounds where the parties' contract and federal law expressly carve out such claims from mandatory arbitration. 2. Whether a court of appeals violates its duty of meaningful judicial review under the Federal Arbitration Act by affirming an arbitration award where the tribunal declined to rule on the petitioner's threshold jurisdictional submissions during a fifty-four-day period preceding the award. 3. Whether an arbitration award must be vacated under 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(2) where the arbitral forum appointed an arbitrator whom the petitioner had contractually struck from the panel, and the successor arbitrator adopted the disqualified arbitrator's procedural rulings without an independent hearing. 4. Whether an arbitration award must be vacated under 9 U.S.C. §§ 10(a)(1) and 10(a)(3) where the award rests on factual findings that are demonstrably refuted by the certified administrative record and the petitioner was denied a meaningful opportunity to present evidence. |
| Summary | Howard Gensler, Petitioner v. South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees, et al.Howard Gensler asked the Supreme Court to review his challenge to South Orange County Community College District’s use of a harassment policy to terminate him, raising First Amendment, due-process, and equal-protection questions. The Court refused to hear the case (denied review), so it did not decide those questions. | Olamide Olatayo Bello v. United StatesOlamide Olatayo Bello says the Fifth Circuit dismissed his criminal appeal after he did not answer a notice he says he never received while leaving a Bureau of Prisons facility in federal custody. He argues this violated his rights to fair process and equal treatment and asks whether he must prove harm; his petition was distributed for a conference. | Kevin Lee Biglow, Petitioner v. Dell Technologies Inc.Kevin Lee Biglow asks the Supreme Court to review a Tenth Circuit decision affirming an arbitration award that dismissed his Title VII workplace-discrimination claims. He argues the arbitrator lacked authority to decide those claims, failed to address his objections, was improperly appointed, and denied him a fair chance to present evidence. |
