Description
This appeal arises from a suit brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Maryland state law by the Maryland American Civil Liberties Union ("ACLU"), the Maryland ACLU Foundation ("ACLUF") and Monica Chester, an ACLU paralegal (collectively "Appellees", "the ACLU" or "Chester" as appropriate) against Wicomico County, Maryland and four employees of the Wicomico County Detention Center ("WCDC") in their individual and official capacities (collectively "Appellants" or "WCDC"). The defendants in their individual capacities appeal the denial of their summary judgment claim of qualified immunity. All Defendants-Appellants request that the court exercise pendent jurisdiction over two additional claims: (1) that the district court erred in its partial denial of their motion to dismiss all counts under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c) or under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for failure to state claims; and (2) that the court erred in ordering discovery on the issue of immunity. For the reasons that follow, we reverse in part and affirm in part.
