County of San Diego, California, et al. v. James Soler
When a prisoner is held under authority of a facially valid warrant, do individual jail staff members have a duty under the Fourteenth Amendment to investigate claims of mistaken identity (as the Ninth Circuit held below), or is procedural due process evaluated by analyzing the totality of process afforded to an arrestee (as this Court and other circuits have held)?
2. Is a circuit court decision sufficient to "clearly establish" a constitutional right for purposes of qualified immunity, or is something more—a robust cross-circuit consensus, or a decision by this Court—required to give fair notice to a reasonable officer?
