Swaney v. Lopez
Petition for certiorari denied on October 15, 2019
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit erred when a divided panel of that court denied qualified immunity to correctional officers notwithstanding the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 3rd and 7th Circuits’ authority making clear that the correctional officers’ conduct did not violate prisoners’ constitutional rights, and absent any contrary authority clearly establishing otherwise.
