Campbell v. Pennsylvania School Boards Association
Petition for certiorari denied on June 28, 2021
Issues: (1) Whether state actors, acting under color of state law, are entitled to claim petitioning immunity from liability for a First Amendment retaliation claim brought under 42 U.S.C. 1983; and (2) if such immunity exists, whether a showing that a state actor’s civil lawsuit was (a) objectively baseless, and (b) filed for the purpose and with the intent of chilling First Amendment-protected speech and petitioning activities is sufficient to overcome any petitioning immunity claimed by the state actor.
