The following excerpt is from Nicholson v. City of Bakersfield, 1:08-CV-1168 AWI SKO (E.D. Cal. 2011):

Cir. 2006). The "concern of the immunity inquiry is to acknowledge that reasonable mistakes can be made," and that it is "often difficult for an officer to determine how the relevant legal doctrine will apply to the factual situation that he faces." Estate of Ford v. Ramirez-Palmer, 301 F.3d 1043, 1049 (9th Cir. 2002).
