Question presented
Whether the United States Fifth Circuit cases of Guerra v. Castillo, 22-40196 (5th Cir. Sep 7, 2023) and Wallace v. Taylor, 22-20342 (5th Cir. Apr 24, 2023), which stand for the proposition that qualified immunity requires dismissal of a malicious prosecution claim in which the alleged misconduct occurred prior to the Supreme Court’s decision of Thompson v. Clark, are contrary to the established jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court and should be abrogated by this Court.
