Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 22 F.3d 897 (9th Cir. 1994) April 11, 1994

On Remand from the United States Supreme Court.

Before: WALLACE, Chief Judge, HUG, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.


The mandate of the Supreme Court having issued in Elder v. Holloway, --- U.S. ----, 114 S. Ct. 1019, 127 L. Ed. 2d 344 (1994), we vacate the judgment of the district court, 751 F. Supp. 858 (D. Idaho 1990), and remand for reconsideration of the qualified immunity issue in light of United States v. Al-Azzawy, 784 F.2d 890 (9th Cir. 1985), cert. denied, 476 U.S. 1144, 106 S. Ct. 2255, 90 L. Ed. 2d 700 (1986), and all other relevant authority. Like the Supreme Court, we express no view as to whether Al-Azzawy's holding with respect to exigent circumstances, id. at 894, entitles defendants to qualified immunity. See Elder, --- U.S. at ----, 114 S. Ct. at 1023.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
