Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals’ narrow application of the legislative immunity doctrine to a municipal elected official departs from and conflicts with this Court’s definition of legislative immunity outlined in this Court’s precedents, including Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511 (1985), as encompassing authorized conduct furthering the legislative duties of an elected official. Whether the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals erred in rejecting the application of qualified immunity to a municipal elected official whose conduct encompassed policy-making fact-finding inquiries that are entirely consistent with a municipal official’s exercise of discretionary functions described by this Court’s precedents, including Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372 (2007).
