Craig v. Krueger

Linked with Crockett v. Krueger (25-594)
Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on March 23, 2026.

Docket No.25-604
Op. Below10th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether the 10th Circuit erred in denying qualified immunity to petitioners on the issue of excessive force without conducting an individualized qualified immunity analysis, but engaged, at least in part, in a “collective” qualified immunity analysis which considered the aggregate actions of multiple officers at the scene; and (2) whether, in denying qualified immunity, the 10th Circuit evaluated whether the right at issue was “clearly established” at an impermissibly high level of generality, contrary to Kisela v. Hughes, City & County of San Francisco v. Sheehan, and Ashcroft v. al-Kidd.
