17-872 7th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2017

Issue: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit defined the constitutional right in question at too high a level of generality, contrary to the Supreme Court's teachings on qualified immunity; and (2) whether the lower court correctly held that Johnson v.
