11th Cir.: it violated clearly established law for FBI agent to fail to engage in reasonable efforst to avoid error in leading a no-knock dawn raid that ended up at the wrong house. No QI; Bivens case can proceed against FBI agent. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
Agent Guerra’s conduct was “simply not ‘consistent with a reasonable effort to ascertain and identify the place intended to be searched.’” Hartsfield, 50 F.3d at 955 (quoting Maryland v. Garrison, 480 U.S. 79, 88 (1987)). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs, a reasonable jury could fairly conclude that Agent Guerra failed to engage in reasonable efforts to avoid error, and, therefore, violated the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights. Such plain incompetence has clearly violated the Fourth Amendment 9The prior panel opinion also did not meaningfully engage with the striking similarities between this case and our decision in Hartsfield, 50 F.3d at 955. See Martin I, 2024 WL 1716235, at *5. USCA11 Case: 23-10062     Document: 78-1     Date Filed: 10/07/2026     Page: 37 of 50 23-10062  Opinion of the Court 37 since at least 1995 when we decided this materially similar precedent. See id. See also Mullenix v. Luna, 577 U.S. 7, 12 (2015) (“Put simply, qualified immunity protects ‘all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law.’”) (quoting Malley v. Briggs, 475 U.S. 335, 341 (1986)).10

My Trump ACA pre-election bribe came! $500 because "you have paid into this flawed system, but...do not receive taxpayer subsidies". Seriously? TRUMP ended the credits. DJT will love that this covers donations I've made to Abdul El Sayed & Will Lawrence for M4All & maybe a tank of gas.😅
