Supreme Court of the United States

Price v. Montgomery County

July 2, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari filed by the estate of Nickie Miller. In its statement, Justice Sotomayor reiterated that absolute prosecutorial immunity is limited and warned that conduct such as destroying evidence in defiance of a court order may lie beyond its scope. The denial does not resolve the merits of the underlying claim but signals concern about the doctrine’s breadth.
