Court Appealed: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Flint

KETHLEDGE, Circuit Judge. Sterling Hotels sued a state elevator inspector, Scott McKay, asserting several claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. McKay moved to dismiss, in part on qualified-immunity grounds. The district court declined to address McKay’s entitlement to immunity, and McKay appealed. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
