## Opinion text

*40 TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge
(concurring in part, dissenting in part).
Because I continue to adhere to my views regarding qualified immunity and what I consider to be “clearly established law,” see Rosado v. Zayas, 813 F.2d 1263, 1267 (1st Cir.1987) (Torruella, J., dissenting); Juarbe-Angueira v. Arias, 831 F.2d 11, 17 (1st Cir.1987) (Torruella, J., dissenting), I cannot concur in Part II of the majority opinion. I do concur, however, in the other parts of this opinion.
