Wade v. Lewis

Share
Petition for certiorari denied on March 28, 2022
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
21-1141 11th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2021

Issue: Whether the Supreme Court’s qualified immunity doctrine demands a nearly identical fact pattern before a case can clearly establish the law — as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 11th and 5th Circuits have held — or whether a case can provide “fair warning” despite some factual variation — as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Circuits have held.
