The police shot and killed John Lincoln as he stood beside then eighteenyear-
old daughter Erin. She here alleges that after she collapsed and cried out,
Officer Patrick Turner picked her up, threw her over his shoulder, and carried
her to a police car, where she sat handcuffed against her will. Erin brought
suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Turner, alleging unreasonable seizure

The question presented in this appeal is whether the plaintiffs
have plausibly alleged “a domestic injury” to their business or
property within the meaning of Section 1964(c) of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), the provision
commonly referred to as civil RICO.1 This question is one of first
impression—in this (or any) Court of Appeals—arising fro

In this interlocutory appeal, Defendant Jonathan Campbell, a South Jordan
City, Utah, police officer, challenges the district court’s decision to deny him
qualified immunity from Plaintiff Matthew Gadd’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim. Having
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, see Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 524-30
(1985), we REVERSE because Gadd has failed to show that Officer Ca

We consider whether police officers are entitled to
qualified immunity when they’re alleged to have caused the
death of a suspect by using tasers repeatedly and
simultaneously for an extended period.

Dan Wallen appeals his conviction after a bench trial for
killing three grizzly bears in violation of the Endangered
Species Act. Although we reject Wallen’s argument that he
was entitled to a jury trial, we hold the magistrate judge, who
served as the trier of fact at trial, misconceived the selfdefense
element of the offense, and that error was not
harmless. We hold the “

Plaintiffs S.M., L.M., K.W., and K.S. are former participants in the Adult Drug
Court of Missouri’s 45th Judicial Circuit (“Drug Court”), an alternative court
established to dispose of drug cases pursuant to Mo. Rev. Stat. §§ 478.001-.006.

other defendants, asserting that Scott Edwards, then a lieuten

Jessica Jauch was indicted by a grand jury, arrested, and put in jail—where she waited for 96 days to be brought before a judge and was effectively denied bail. The district court found this constitutionally permissible. It is not. A pre-trial detainee denied access to the judicial system for a prolonged period has been denied basic procedural due process, and we therefore reverse the district cou

On June 29, 2015, the Board of Trustees of Kilgore Independent School District (KISD) voted to repeal KISD’s local option homestead exemption (LOHE). That repeal came just fourteen days after Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill No. 1 (SB1), which (A) was to become effective on the later passage of an enabling constitutional amendment by the voters, (B) increased a statewide homestead exemption

This case has a complex procedural history lasting more than a decade and spanning several state and federal venues. It began when the estates of several deceased nursing-home patients (the “Estates” or “Appellants”) brought a series of wrongful-death suits against a network of nursing homes. These suits collectively resulted in $1 billion in empty-chair judgments against the network. In an effort

The primary issue in this appeal is whether the “clearly
established” prong of the qualified immunity analysis should
be submitted to a jury. Following the lead of nearly all of
our sister circuits, we conclude that it is a question of law
that must ultimately be decided by a judge.

This is an appeal from a take-nothing final summary judgment rendered in favor of appellee Ellen A. Yarrell on appellant James W. Paulsen’s defamation claims. Paulsen challenges the trial court’s denial of a motion to dismiss, which attempted to invoke the Texas Citizens Participation Act. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE §§ 27.001–.011. Paulsen also argues that summary judgment was improper becaus

This is a tragic case in which a
man died at the hands of a police officer who was trying to do his
job. The underlying suit alleges, in relevant part, that the
officer violated 42 U.S.C. § 1983 through the precipitous use of
deadly force. In a pretrial ruling, the district court held that
the officer was not entitled to qualified immunity at the summary
judgment stage. See
