No. 08-2417 THOMAS WALDEN, et al., Plaintiffs, Appellees, Cross-Appellants, v. CITY OF PROVIDENCE, et al., Defendants, Appellants, Cross-Appellees. ERRATA SHEET The opinion of this Court, issued on February 23, 2010, is amended as follows: On page 29, at the beginning of line 1, the following language should be inserted: In addition to there being no clear notice from the Supreme Court opinions, we have found no cases in this circuit or elsewhere sufficiently similar to have alerted the defendants to the illegality of their conduct. See Anderson, 483 U.S. at 640 (noting that "in the light of pre-existing law the unlawfulness must be apparent"). On page 29, at line 1, "No First Circuit case had clearly established" should be substituted for "Nor had any First Circuit case held". - 2 -
