Harvey v. Bayhealth Medical Center, Inc.
Petition for certiorari denied on June 30, 2025.
Issue
(1) Whether, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employee’s religious belief is left unprotected if a court determines such a belief would create a “blanket privilege” because the belief might apply broadly to other employment situations, or instead the belief is broadly protected in the employment setting; and (2) whether lower courts are permitted to make a factual determination as to whether a professed religious belief supported by citations to religious materials is a personal or medical belief as opposed to an avowed religious belief on a motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6)?
