Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether qualified immunity insulates a law enforcement officer from liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983
Question Presented (from Petition)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether qualified immunity insulates a law enforcement officer from liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 if there is no factually identical precedent establishing the unconstitutionality of that officer’s conduct (as the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Circuits have held), or whether a constitutional right can be “clearly established” by precedent with some factual variation so long as the officer has fair notice that his conduct is unconstitutional (as this Court and the First, Third, Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits have held). 2. Whether the judge-made doctrine of qualified immunity should be narrowed or abolished.
