Jay T. Brown v. Deputy Constable John Glossip

Fifth Circuit

Jay T. Brown v. Deputy Constable John Glossip

920 F.2d 322, 1991 WL 24

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided January 10, 1991·No. 90-2316·Published·Cited by 3 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This case, before us a second time, needs little if any attention. We need note only that under Shillingford v. Holmes, 634 F.2d 263 (5th Cir.1981), Brown’s allegations are sufficient to controvert Glossip’s qualified immunity defense. Consequently, the district court’s denial of Glossip’s motion to dismiss was entirely appropriate.

As a postscript, we add that our earlier opinion, Brown v. Glossip, 878 F.2d 871 (5th Cir.1989), should be interpreted as applying, consistent with Anderson v. Creighton, 483 U.S. 635, 639, 107 S.Ct. 3034, 3037, 97 L.Ed.2d 523 (1987), the “clearly established” legal rules as of the date of Glossip’s actions.

The judgment of the district court is

AFFIRMED.
