Heading: Qualified Immunity From Yarris's Constitutional Claims

Text: 47 Prosecutors who are not entitled to absolute immunity from a plaintiff's claims may nonetheless be entitled to qualified immunity from those same claims. See Imbler, 424 U.S. at 430-31, 96 S.Ct. 984. Here, as noted above, the ADAs moved to dismiss Yarris's claims on the basis of both absolute and qualified immunity. The District Court, however, did not consider the ADAs' qualified immunity arguments. Instead, after ruling that the ADAs were not entitled to absolute immunity from any of Yarris's claims, the District Court turned directly to the CID Detectives' qualified immunity arguments without addressing those of the ADAs. For this reason—and with the benefit of our conclusions as to the ADAs' partial entitlement to absolute immunity, supra — we will remand this issue for the District Court to consider in the first instance. 48
