Jones v. Kalbaugh

Petition for certiorari denied on April 5, 2021

Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
20-83 10th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2020

Issue: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit improperly focused on the knowledge and intentions of the suspect, rather than the facts knowable to the officers, in reversing the district court"s grant of qualified immunity in an excessive force case; and (2) whether the 10th Circuit analyzed clearly established law at too high a level of generality by relying on general statements of Fourth Amendment excessive force principles rather than identifying a case in which officers acting under similar circumstances were held to have violated the Fourth Amendment.
