Paul stone sued his employer for assault
battery due to the actions of several of bid
female co-workers. while gathered and
the coffee machine each morning, they
whistle at him, make lewd comments
touch and pinch him. when the case
missed from the state circuit court, stone
appealed. the intermediate court of appeals
sustained the result in the lower court and
stone appealed to the state supreme court
when the state supreme court also sustained
stone sought to appeal to the u.s. supreme
court. are there any federal issues in this
case that would allow the u.s. supreme court
to take jurisdiction? what might prevent the
nation's highest court from so doing?
