Yesterday, a divided three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued a decision in which all three of the judges wrote separately. The majority held that the prison officials were entitled to qualified immunity on all of the plaintiff’s claims.

Martin issued a dissenting opinion. Under these circumstances, this case would seem to have a better than ordinary chance of obtaining rehearing en banc should plaintiff seek that form of further review.
