Marques A. Johnson v. James Dunn
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 21-10670 · judgment January 30, 2024
Before the decision, modestly above 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 an Eleventh Circuit decision below.
Questions presented
-
Whether the Fourth Amendment prohibits arresting a passenger in a car not suspected of any wrongdoing solely for failing to immediately provide identification to law enforcement, as the First, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have held, or whether it permits such arrests, as the Eleventh Circuit held below; and whether the law was “clearly established” on the date of Petitioner’s arrest.
-
Whether the doctrine of qualified immunity, which shields government officials from liability for civil damages unless they violated a clearly established constitutional right, should be overruled or limited.
