Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided August 16, 2013No. Docket 11-5386-cvPublishedCited by 186 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
GERARD E. LYNCH, Circuit Judge:
This case requires us to consider whether detaining an individual pursuant to a material arrest warrant is a prosecutorial function entitled to absolute immunity. We hold that it is not. As the record is insufficient to determine whether defendants are entitled to qualified immunity, we vacate the judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Eric N. Vitaliano, Judge) and remand this case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
