Hamlet v. Hoxie

Petition for certiorari denied on December 11, 2023

Docket No.	Op. Below	Argument	Opinion	Vote	Author	Term
23-7	11th Cir.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	OT 2023

Issue: (1) Whether it is "clearly established" for purposes of qualified immunity that the Eighth Amendment bars a prison official from forcing a person with diabetes and open wounds to endure prolonged and unnecessary exposure to feces; and (2) whether the court should overrule Procunier v. Navarette and hold that qualified immunity under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 does not extend to a suit alleging that a prison guard subjected the plaintiff to unlawful conditions of confinement, because similar state officials were not immune from similar suits at common law.
