A petition for certiorari (
full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court last week in
Sause v. Bauer, (cert. filed 11/17/2017). In the case, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed on qualified immunity grounds a suit for damages alleging that police who were investigating a noise complaint violated plaintiff's 1st Amendment rights when an officer who had come to her home ordered her to get up and stop praying. (See
prior posting.) First Liberty issued a
press release announcing the filing of the petition for review.
