U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Michael Sack v. City of St. Louis
September 4, 2026
Summary
The Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of qualified immunity for the former mayor and interim director of public safety, holding that the plaintiff plausibly alleged an adverse employment action and a violation of clearly established equal protection law. The court also found the plaintiff sufficiently pleaded individualized liability against each official.
