Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether, in a retaliation case, to overcome qualified immunity a plaintiff need only establish that the right retaliated against was clearly established, or instead, as the Tenth Circuit held, the plaintiff must establish that both that the right retaliated against was clearly established and that it was clearly established that government officials are forbidden from retaliating against that specific right in the specific manner used in the plaintiff's case.
