U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-3370
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Family and Medical Leave Act. Defendants appeal the district
court's denial of their motion for summary judgment based on qualified
immunity; the district court erred in holding that qualified immunity is
not available to defendants on an FMLA claim - See Hager v. Arkansas
Department of Health, 735 F.3d 1009 (8th Cir. 2013); because of this
error, the district court did not apply the principles of qualified
immunity to the facts presented, and the matter must be remanded for
further consideration.
