How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that, although the plaintiff’s requested injunctive relief was moot, that his challenge to an allegedly unconstitutional policy was not moot because the plaintiff sought damages
  • recognizing that withdrawal of a challenged policy does not moot a complaint seeking damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983
  • holding that, although the plaintiffs-requested declaratory and injunctive relief was mooted by a change in policy, her “claims [w]ere not moot insofar as she [sought] damages”
  • noting that in assessing whether a right is clearly established, we look to “the decisional law of the Supreme Court and the applicable Circuit court”
  • noting that a court is not required to evaluate whether a right exists where it is “plain” that the right is not “clearly established”
  • overturning district court's determination that the plaintiff lacked standing for incorrectly \conflat[ing] the requirement for an injury-in-fact with the constitutional validity of [the underlying] claim\
