![With no penological justification for withholding the book after the Publication Review Committee’s decision, existing precedent clearly establishes that not delivering the book was unlawful. This is true even though none of our precedent delineates a brightline rule for how much delay is too much. See Hope v. Pelzer, 536 U.S. 730, 741 (2002) (“[A] general constitutional rule already identified in the decisional law may apply with obvious clarity to the specific conduct in question, even though the very action in question has not previously been held unlawful.” (citation modified) (quoting United States v. Lanier, 520 U.S. 259, 270–71 (1997)); Schwenk v. Hartford, 204 F.3d 1187, 1197 (9th Cir. 2000) (“[Q]ualified immunity is inappropriate where the preexisting law was sufficient to provide the defendant with ‘fair warning’ that his conduct was unlawful.” (quoting Lanier, 520 U.S. at 270–71)). The principle that inmates retain the right to obtain information to the extent this right does not contravene legitimate penological interests is clearly established.
