The opinion

KAREN NELSON MOORE, Circuit Judge,

concurring in the judgment.

I believe that we have jurisdiction to hear this appeal and that the defendants in this case are entitled to qualified immunity because their actions did not violate clearly established federal law. Therefore, I concur in the judgment. Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223, 129 S.Ct. 808 , 172 L.Ed.2d 565 (2009), did not change the substantive standards for qualified immunity; it merely held that a court may consider the second prong of the qualified-immunity test first if it chooses.
