Text: Hearring’s complaint, brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleges a constitutional violation, and thus subject-matter jurisdiction exists pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Although denials of summary judgment generally are not appealable, “denials of qualified immunity at the summary judgment stage that are based on the district court’s ‘determination about pre-existing clearly established law’” are reviewable as final orders. Bomar v. City of Pontiac, 643 F.3d 458, 461 (6th Cir. 2011) (quoting Johnson v. Jones, 515 U.S. 304, 317 (1995)); see Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 530 (1985).
