Petition for certiorari denied on March 19, 2018
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-550 6th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2017

Issues: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit's refusal to exercise jurisdiction directly conflicts with Supreme Court precedent; (2) whether the lower court's apparent affirmation of the district court's determination that questions of fact preclude the grant of summary judgment directly conflicts with Supreme Court precedent; and (3) whether the lower court's affirmation of the district court's denial of qualified immunity directly conflicts with Supreme Court precedent regarding whether a clearly established constitutional right was violated.
