Question Presented (from Petition)
I. Whether it is "clearly established" for purposes of qualified immunity that the Eighth Amendment bars a prison official from forcing a person with diabetes and open wounds to endure prolonged and unnecessary exposure to feces.
II. Whether the Court should overrule Procunier v. Navarette, 434 U.S. 555 (1978), and hold that qualified immunity under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 does not extend to a suit alleging that a prison guard subjected the plaintiff to unlawful conditions of confinement, because similar state officials were not immune from similar suits at common law.
Question Presented (AI Summary)
