Dutra v. Jackson
Petition for certiorari denied on March 25, 2024
Issue: (1) Whether this court"s precedents the only source of clearly established law for purposes of qualified immunity; and (2) whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit construed clearly established law too abstractly when it denied qualified immunity by citing only its own precedents involving the use of tasers, police dogs, and neck restraints on already handcuffed or subdued suspects when"as the body-cam footage shows"none of those facts were present here.
