DueProcess
Whether a court's obligation to view the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff allows it to ignore undisputed clear video evidence that would require the court to draw inferences against the plaintiff's claims
QUESTION PRESENTED In ruling on a claim for qualified immunity raised in a motion for summary judgment, does a court’s obligation to view the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff allow that court to ignore undisputed clear video evidence which, if considered, would require the court to draw the inference that the force used by the defendants was not excessive, and the further inference that the unlawfulness of the defendants’ conduct was not clearly established?
