Text: This Court reviews a district court’s denial of summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity de novo. Martin v. City of Broadview Heights, 712 F.3d 951, 957 (6th Cir. 2013). Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(c), summary judgment is appropriate if the record “shows that there are no genuine issues of material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” Schreiber v. Moe, 596 F.3d 323, 329 (6th Cir. 2010). In a motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity, all facts and related inferences must be viewed in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. Davenport v. Causey, 521 F.3d 544, 550 (6th Cir. 2008). This Court may consider the question of qualified immunity 6 No. 14-1544 based on the facts most favorable to the plaintiff even if the defendant does not concede the plaintiff’s version of the facts on appeal. Smith v. Cupp, 430 F.3d 766, 771–72 (6th Cir. 2005). All questions of law are reviewed de novo. Davenport, 521 F.3d at 550.
