Dustin Dillard, et al. v. Vicki Timpa, Individually and as Representative of the Estate of Anthony Timpa, et al.
1. Whether the Fifth Circuit misapplied the
Court's qualified immunity jurisprudence in holding
that a police officer who held a mentally ill subject
down in the prone position for the length of time it took
paramedics to assess and treat the subject violated
the subject's clearly established Fourth Amendment
rights.
2. Whether the Fifth Circuit erred in holding
that officers who were present while a fellow officer
held a mentally ill subject down in the prone position
had a clearly established constitutional obligation to
intervene and terminate the subject's restraint such
that they are subject to bystander liability under 42
U.S.C. § 1983.
