Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether § 1988 requires the survival of § 1983 claims to be determined using the state-law survival rule for the most closely analogous state cause of action, or whether all § 1983 claims must be evaluated under the general state-law survival rule for personal-injury claims, without regard to the nature of the § 1983 claims.

2. Whether the court of appeals erred in holding that, by 1975, clearly established law extended the disclosure obligations created by Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), from prosecutors to police officers.

Whether §1988 requires the survival of §1983 claims to be determined using the state-law survival rule for the most closely analogous state cause of action, or whether all §1983 claims must be evaluated under the general state-law survival rule for personal-injury claims
