United States Seventh Circuit

In a suit alleging constitutional violations by a DEA officer in connection with the criminal prosecution of plaintiff for money laundering, denial of summary judgment for defendant on one of four claims is reversed where: 1) the denial of defendant's claim of qualified immunity was an appealable collateral order; and 2) defendant committed no Brady violation and was therefore entitled to qualified immunity.
