How later courts describe this case
- defendant entitled to dismissal on qualified immunity plea unless plaintiff states a claim of violation of clearly established law
- “predicate acts” for section 1962’s first three subsections include only “racketeering activity” as described in section 1961(1)
- absolute immunity is not "a mere defense to liability"; its "essence" is "its possessor's entitlement not to have to ... stand trial or face the other burdens of litigation "
- "Harlow ... purged qualified immunity doctrine of its subjective components"
