What is the test for an official to be found guilty of a breach of the Civil Code of Civil Procedure?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Mathis v. County of Lyon, 633 F.3d 877 (9th Cir. 2011):

established, its contours must be sufficiently clear that a reasonable official would understand that what he is doing violates that right. Hope v. Pelzer, 536 U.S. 730, 739, 122 S.Ct. 2508, 153 L.Ed.2d 666 (2002) (internal quotation marks omitted). Although an official may violate clearly established law even in novel factual circumstances ... the salient question ... is whether the state of the law [at the time of the alleged violation] gave [that official] fair warning that [his conduct] was unconstitutional. Id. at 741, 122 S.Ct. 2508.
