Text: Although we generally do not have jurisdiction over an interlocutory appeal from the denial of a motion for summary 16088 TENNISON v. SANDERS judgment, the denial of a defendant’s motion for summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity is immediately appealable. Morgan v. Morgensen, 465 F.3d 1041, 1044 (9th Cir. 2006). The district court’s denial of a claim of absolute immunity also is immediately appealable. Castaneda v. United States, ___ F.3d ___, No. 08-55684, 2008 WL 4426615, at  (9th Cir. Oct. 2, 2008). We therefore have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Id.
