What is the effect of an order of procedure in civil litigation where a defendant has qualified immunity from prosecution?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Devereaux v. Perez, 218 F.3d 1045 (9th Cir. 1999):
"This order of procedure is designed to `spare a defendant not only of unwarranted liability, but unwarranted demands customarily imposed upon those defending a long drawn-out lawsuit.' Siegert v. Gilley, 500 U.S. 226, 232, 111 S.Ct. 1789, 114 L.Ed.2d 277 (1991). Deciding the constitutional question before addressing the qualified immunity question also promotes clarity in the legal standards for official conduct, to the benefit of both the officers and the general public."
