Vicki Jo Lewis, et vir, Individually and as Co-Personal Representatives of the Estate of Isaiah Mark Lewis, Deceased v. City of Edmond, Oklahoma, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 21-6081 · judgment September 16, 2022
Before the decision, about 1.5× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a business petitioner, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Questions presented
-
Whether this Court should reconsider the judgemade doctrine of qualified immunity.
-
Whether qualified immunity insulates a law enforcement officer from liability from excessive force claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 if there is no factually indistinguishable precedent establishing the unconstitutionality of that officer’s conduct, or whether the law can be “clearly established” by precedent with some factual variation so long as the officer has fair notice that his conduct is unconstitutional.
