Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Where the Supreme Court has required that a prisoner is entitled to procedural safeguards if their "correspondence" is intercepted, are respondents entitled to qualified immunity simply because the correspondence in the Supreme Court case was postal mail, rather than email?
2. Should the doctrine of qualified immunity be abolished, pared back, or clarified?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the Due Process Clause requires notice and opportunity to be heard when a prisoner's outgoing emails are intercepted
