Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Did the Tenth Circuit err in denying
Petitioners qualified immunity on Dalton's
Equal Protection claim where it was not
clearly established that police officers in
Petitioners' position would have been on
notice that their conduct in March and April
2016 was unconstitutional (i.e. where no
Equal Protection jurisprudence from this
Court squarely governed the particular facts
of this case)?

II. For purposes of qualified immunity, can a
federal court of appeals decision constitute
clearly established law?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
