• court of appeals accepted special action jurisdiction from the trial court’s denial of a motion to dismiss based on the doctrine of qualified immunity
• court of appeals accepted special action jurisdiction from the trial court's denial of a motion to dismiss based on the doctrine of qualified immunity
• although denial of motion to dismiss was non-appealable interlocutory order, jurisdictional relief was granted under the \unusual step\ of a special-action petition
• accepted jurisdiction on special-action petition and ordered trial court to dismiss section 1983 claim
• We follow a general policy of “declining jurisdiction when relief is sought to obtain review of orders denying motions to dismiss.”
• Special action jurisdiction is appropriate when a dispositive motion claiming immunity has been denied because “we cannot allow a state official to be forced to trial when the process can and should be aborted in its early stages.”
