Melton v. Phillips
Petition for certiorari denied on April 16, 2018
Issues: (1) Whether a law enforcement officer who recklessly or deliberately reports false information that is ultimately relied upon in a warrant application violates the Fourth Amendment; and (2) whether the law in this area was clearly established, such that an officer who violates the Fourth Amendment by recklessly or deliberately reporting false information later used in a warrant is not entitled to qualified immunity.
