Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit February 20, 2004, No. 00-35887 (Cox v. Roskelley)

HALL, Circuit Judge,

dissenting:

The defense of qualified immunity must fail when, accepting the facts in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, a reasonable public official would have been aware that his conduct violated clearly established constitutional norms. Mena v. City of Simi Valley, 332 F.3d 1255, 1261 (9th Cir.2003).
