Jones, et al. v. McNeese, No. 11-2259 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseThis case arose when plaintiff and his two business entities commenced action against defendant, alleging statutory and constitutional violations under 42 U.S.C. 1983. In this interlocutory appeal, defendant appealed the district court's denial of his motion for summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity. The court remanded the case to the district court for a more complete articulation of its analysis of defendant's motion. The court found it difficult to discern from the order whether the district court applied either step of the qualified immunity inquiry to the claims alleged by plaintiff.
Court Description: Civil Case - civil rights. In this interlocutory appeal from the denial of summary judgment based on qualified immunity, appeal raises challenges to application of qualified immunity principles to established summary judgment facts and court has jurisdiction. Because district court's analysis was far too abbreviated to ascertain whether district court properly applied the two-step qualified immunity analysis, the case is remanded. Judge Bye dissents.
