24-73 6th Cir. TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD

Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit improperly denied qualified immunity to prison officials based on their response to the unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic by defining the relevant law at too high level of generality, and identifying no precedent recognizing a constitutional right under similar circumstances that would have put reasonable officials on notice that their conduct may violate the Constitution given the novel challenge of the pandemic.
