“[A] denial of qualified immunity that turns on an issue of law—rather than a factual dispute—falls within the collateral order doctrine that treats certain decisions as `final' within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We recognize that there are decisions in which an affidavit has been used to save a defective warrant even when it has not been incorporated within that warrant. But the cases fall into two categories. The first embraces those circumstances in which the warrant contains an ambiguity or clerical error that can be resolved with reference to the affidavit.... Reliance on the affidavit in these circumstances neither broadens nor shrinks the scope of the warrant, but merely rectifies a minor irregularity.... The second category of decisions in which an unincorporated affidavit has been read to modify a search warrant is constituted by cases in which the affidavit is particularized but the warrant is overbroad. So long as the actual search is confined to the narrower scope of the affidavit, courts have sometimes allowed the unincorporated affidavit to “cure” the warrant, or at least have treated the excessive elements of the warrant as harmless surplusage.”
