Joe Thorpe v. Township of Salisbury, Pennsylvania, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 22-2448 · judgment April 5, 2023
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
Did the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals violate the rule announced in Harris v. Harvey. 605 F.2d 330 (7th Cir. 1979) that there is no such thing as automatic absolute immunity and the courts must review the exceptions to immunity under the Eleventh Amendment before allowing judges and prosecutors such protection in cases involving the Fourteenth Amendment?
