Docket entry
Petition GRANTED. Judgment REVERSED. Opinion per curiam. (Detached Opinion) Justice Sotomayor, with whom Justice Kagan and Justice Jackson join, dissenting. (Detached Opinion)
Docket entry
Because the Second Circuit failed to identify a case where an officer using a routine wristlock on a protester after issuing a verbal warning, without more, was held to have violated the Constitution, Sergeant Jacob Zorn was entitled to qualified immunity; the Second Circuit’s contrary conclusion was erroneous. [607 U.S. 568]

Judgment Issued.
This text does not state an outcome in words we recognize. It is shown as written.
Method: an entry is marked with an outcome only when its own text contains the outcome word, and the word is shown beside it. Orders, opinions and judgments whose text does not say are marked Other. Party filings, notices and routine procedural orders (appearances, extra pages, time extensions, scheduling) are not listed; 19 such entries were left out of this case. No link between this case and any other case is recorded in our data, so only this case's own record is shown. Open the court's docket
