Supreme Court of the United States
Snyder v. Trepagnier, 525 U.S. 1098 (1999)

Snyder v. Trepagnier

Opinion of the Court

C. A. 5th Cir. Certiorari granted limited to the following questions: “1. Whether a jury finding that a constitutional violation incurred by use of excessive force in an arrest' necessarily precludes a finding of qualified immunity, so as to make such dual findings irreconcilable? 2. Whether a reviewing court may reconcile apparent inconsistencies in special jury verdicts despite possible defects in special interrogatories submitted, by determining whether, upon review of the entire record, the verdict as a whole was reasonable and supported by the evidence?” Brief of petitioner is to be filed with the Clerk and served upon opposing counsel on or before 3 p.m., Thursday, February 25, 1999. Brief of respondents is to be filed with the Clerk and served upon opposing counsel on or before 3 p.m., Wednesday, March 24, 1999. A reply brief, if any, is to be filed with the Clerk and served upon opposing counsel on or before 3 p.m., Monday, April 12, 1999. This Court’s Rule 29.2 does not apply.
