D.H., Ex Rel. Dawson v. Clayton County School District

HULL, Circuit Judge:

In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Defendant Tyrus McDowell appeals the district court’s interlocutory order denying his motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity. The district court found that Assistant Principal McDowell’s strip search of a minor student violated clearly established constitutional law. After careful review of the record and briefs, and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm in part and reverse in part the district court’s September 30, 2014 order and remand to the district court for a trial.
