7th Circuit Court of Appeals
William Manery v. Jason Lee
24-1292
Civil. Appeal from the U.S. District Court in Indianapolis. Senior Judge Sarah Evans Barker. Reverses the district court’s denial of Marion County Sheriff Lt. Jason Lee’s summary judgment motion on the grounds that he was entitled to qualified immunity. Finds a reasonable officer in Lee’s position would not have known that the use of deadly force could run afoul of William Manery’s Fourth Amendment rights. Also finds it was not clearly established that Lee’s use of deadly force was unreasonable, and, accordingly, he is entitled to qualified immunity. Remands the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Judge John Lee dissents with a separate opinion. Attorneys for appellee: Brandon Tate, Katherine Piscione. Attorneys for appellant: Anthony Overholt, Darren Craig, Alexander Will.

Attorney for appellant: Talisha Griffin. Attorney for appellee: Rachel Gallagher.
