Denise Hughes, as Administrator of the Estate of Edwin Dewayne Moss v. Monique N. Locure, Administratrix of the Estate of Darian K. Locure

Whether on January 19, 2021—when Macon County, Alabama Deputy Sheriff Darian K. Locure struck and killed Plaintiff-Petitioner’s decedent, Edwin Dewayne Moss—it was clearly established that a law-enforcement officer can face legal liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for a substantive due-process violation where that officer physically injures a private person through the “officer’s intentional misuse of his [or her] vehicle”—as reasoned in County of Sacramento v. Lewis, 523 U.S. 833, 854 n.13 (1998) (emphasis in original), and Browder v. City of Albuquerque, 787 F.3d 1076, 1082-83 (10th Cir. 2015) (Gorsuch, J., writing for the Tenth Circuit), and Dean for & on behalf of Harkness v. McKinney, 976 F.3d 407, 417- 20 (4th Cir. 2020). And, if so, whether this means that the Eleventh Circuit’s contrary holding in Hughes v. Locure, 166 F.4th 121, 128-30 (11th Cir. 2026), granting qualified immunity on the ground that this same right was not clearly established—over two decades post-Lewis and approaching a decade post-Browder—conflicts with this Court’s precedent and creates a circuit split warranting resolution on certiorari review.
