Busch v. Guertin

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on January 21, 2020.

Docket No.19-350
Op. Below6th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether the 14th Amendment"s constitutional right to "bodily integrity" extends to encapsulate a right to be protected by state regulators from a foreseeable risk of harm from exposure to contaminants in public drinking water, or to be free from allegedly false statements by an agency spokesperson; (2) whether, if so, such a bodily-integrity right was clearly established at the time the defendant officials were fulfilling their official duties; and (3) whether mere alleged mistakes and regulatory inaction by state regulators, or allegedly false statements by an agency spokesperson, are sufficiently "conscience shocking" to strip a government official of qualified immunity.
