Nicholas Mangino v. Vicki McKenney, Individually and as Next Friend of Stephen McKenney, and as Personal Representative of the Estate of Stephen McKenney

I. Whether the circuit court’s decision that it did not have jurisdiction to hear portions of Petitioner’s appeal of denial of qualified immunity conflicts with prior Supreme Court precedent and creates a conflict between the sister circuits on this important federal question which does and will continue to arise with great frequency, and which continues to deny government officials in the First Circuit the important benefits of qualified immunity? II. Whether the circuit court decision denying Petitioner qualified immunity conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court on the important federal question of whether a constitutional right is “clearly established” by failing to identify a case which clearly establishes that Petitioner’s conduct fell below constitutional minima?
