Questions presented
-
Whether the Third Circuit’s decision to exercise jurisdiction over an appeal of the District Court’s denial of qualified immunity on a motion for summary judgment is in conflict with Johnson v. Jones and its own precedent?
-
Whether the Third Circuit’s ruling that inexplicably deviates from the Third Circuit’s precedent in Bennett v. Murphy is an error of law?
-
Whether an officer who testifies that he was not in fear of his life or the lives of others nor did he feel threatened by Gibbons before fatally shooting a suspect be entitled to qualified immunity?
-
Whether the Third Circuit erred as a matter of law when it interpreted this Court’s holdings in White v. Pauly and Kisela v. Hughes as creating a new standard of review to the established law when it granted Bartelt absolute immunity for his use of deadly force against a suicidal suspect?
