Text: We review de novo the denial of qualified immunity in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See Scicluna v. Wells, 345 F.3d 441, 444 (6th Cir. 2003). “[F]or an interlocutory appeal to be appropriate, a defendant seeking qualified immunity must be willing to concede to the facts as alleged by the plaintiff and discuss only the legal issues raised by the case.” Id. (quoting Shehee v. -7- No. 10-2089 Cobbs v. Pramstaller, et al. Luttrell, 199 F.3d 295, 299 (6th Cir. 1999)). Thus, we accept all of Cobbs’s allegations as true and view all facts and reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to him. Id. at 444-45.
