The Supreme Court on Tuesday released its oral argument calendar for March 20 through April 26 as it marked dates for arguments in major cases, including an ex-postal worker's suit claiming he was denied religious accommodations.
was brought by former postal worker Gerald Groff, whose managers arranged for other workers to deliver packages on Sundays until July 2018, when he began to face disciplinary actions if he did not come to work.
In this Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013, file photo, packages wait to be sorted in a Post Office as U.S. Postal Service letter carrier Michael McDonald, gathers mail to load into his truck before making his delivery run, in Atlanta. Groff is represented by the First Liberty Institute, which is challenging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit's decision that found the Postal Service was not at fault in the dispute.
The former USPS worker's counsel argues that as a federal employee, he was protected by Title VII from discrimination based on his religious beliefs and practices. Tuesday's scheduling announcements, which chart out argument dates for over a dozen lawsuits, show April 26 will mark the final oral argument date of the 2022-23 term. Any future cases taken up by the court will mean arguments will take place sometime after the court's summer recess.
