Camreta v. Greene, Personally and as Next Friend of S. G., a Minor

Summary

Government officials who win on qualified immunity can generally seek Supreme Court review of adverse constitutional rulings, but this case was moot because the plaintiff had grown up and moved away; thus the Court vacated the Ninth Circuit's Fourth Amendment holding. Justice Sotomayor concurred in judgment to avoid reaching the reviewability question; Justice Kennedy dissented, arguing prevailing parties may not appeal.
