Crockett v. Krueger
Petition for certiorari denied on March 23, 2026.
Issue
(1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit erred in denying qualified immunity to the Petitioner law enforcement officers on the issue of excessive force without conducting an individualized qualified immunity analysis, instead engaging in a collective qualified immunity analysis which considered the aggregate actions of multiple officers at the scene; (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; and (3) whether the existing law would make it clear to a reasonable law enforcement officer when a suspect is “effectively subdued” such that using further force against them would be objectively unreasonable.
