The following excerpt is from Krohne v. Peterson, 74 F.3d 1246 (9th Cir. 1996):
A two-part inquiry determines whether defendants are entitled to qualified immunity: 1) Was the law governing the defendants' conduct clearly established? 2) Under that law, could a reasonable person have believed the conduct was lawful? Act Up!/Portland v. Bagley, 988 F.2d 868, 871 (9th Cir.1993).
