## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- noting that the District Court appeared to analyze qualified immunity only as to those claims addressed in the defendants’ summary judgment argument on qualified immunity, but deciding nevertheless to analyze on appeal each of the plaintiffs’ claims as regards qualified immunity
- stating that courts can proceed in a qualified immunity case by first analyzing whether there was a constitutional violation
- noting that the same standard applies to a grant of summary judgment on qualified immunity grounds
