Is a defendant in a civil case entitled to qualified immunity?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Biggs v. Krieger, 189 F.3d 989 (9th Cir. 1999):
In order to determine whether the council defendants should receive qualified immunity, we must consider (1) whether the law governing the official's conduct was clearly established and (2) whether, given this clearly established standard, a reasonable official could believe that his or her conduct was lawful. See Ortega v. O'Connor, 146 F.3d 1149, 1154 (9th Cir. 1998).
