Alexander v. Orlowski

Pending Petition
Docket No.17-883
Op. Below7th Cir.

Issue

Whether, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit thought it sufficient that the Eighth Amendment has been held to proscribe deliberate indifference to a serious medical need in determining whether the constitutional right in question was "clearly established," the lower court defined the constitutional right in question at too high a level of generality, directly contrary to the Supreme Court's teachings on qualified immunity.
