Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether this Court's qualified immunity doctrine demands a nearly identical fact pattern before a case can clearly establish the law—as the Eleventh and Fifth Circuits have held—or whether a case can provide "fair warning" despite some factual variation—as the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have held.
