“Qualified immunity shields government officials from liability for damages resulting from the performance of discretionary official functions if their conduct “does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.” Rodriguez v. Phillips, 66 F.3d 470, 475 (2d Cir.1995) (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818 , 102 S.Ct. 2727 , 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982)). Summary judgment may be granted on this ground if the defendant shows that (1) the asserted right was not clearly established, or (2) it was nonetheless objectively reasonable for the official to believe the conduct did not violate it. 66 F.3d at 475 . To win summary judgment on the latter ground, the official “must produce such uncontroverted facts that a jury — drawing all inferences favorable to plaintiff— would have to conclude it was objectively reasonable for defendant to believe his actions did not violate an established federally protected right.” Id.”
