Does qualified immunity protect defendants from a claim for equitable relief?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Housley v. Killinger, 972 F.2d 1339 (9th Cir. 1992):

1 Although qualified immunity does not shield defendants from claims for declaratory or injunctive relief, Wood v. Strickland, 420 U.S. 308, 314 n. 6 (1975), we have already held that dismissal of the entire complaint, including the request for equitable relief, was appropriate due to Housley's failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
