Miller v. Stamm
Petition for certiorari denied on June 19, 2017
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit's denial of qualified immunity directly conflicted with the Supreme Court's decisions in Scott v. Harris and Plumhoff v. Rickard where the petitioner did not violate the decedent's constitutional rights or clearly established law by entering the highway ahead of the decedent, activating his emergency equipment, and attempting to slow the decedent and gain his compliance even if it resulted in contact, given that the decedent was traveling at a dangerous speed when a deputy first encountered him, he accelerated to over 126 mph when officers attempted to stop him, he weaved in and out of vehicular traffic causing civilian motorists to leave the roadway, and he narrowly missed striking a civilian vehicle before the contact occurred.
