No ; Please identify the party(ies) the appeal is being taken against: John Belogna, Shane Hauff, Andrew Peterson and Tyler Vargo ; Issues: Did the lower court err in granting summary judgment of Plaintiffs' claims of illegal entry and illegal search, where they did not have a warrant for the person who was the true object of their efforts (Jesse), and instead used a stale bench warrant for someone else (Jennifer) to enter the unoccupied home of the Plaintiffs, with no reasonable belief or probable cause that either person was in the house; yet searched the house, including small containers where no one could hide, for about an hour? And did the lower court err in (1) finding that the fact Defendants were not seeking the object of the bench warrant was of no consequence, (2) by using the lower reasonable belief standard for entry rather than probable cause, and (3) by finding Defendants were entitled to qualified immunity? .
