Assuming that Mueller correctly alleged that Gallina lied to the OPR, does Mueller's have a valid cause of action under Bivens?
Mueller was a DEA agent and Gallina was the Special Agent in charge of the Detroit DEA office. In 1997, Gallina supposedly issued a letter to a firearm manufacturer authorizing Mueller to buy an otherwise unobtainable firearm. In 2000 the DEA's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigated whether Mueller lawfully obtained the firearm. Gallina, no longer in charge of the DEA Detroit office, was interviewed by the OPR and said he did not review, sign, or authorize the 1997 letter. Partly on the basis of Gallina's statement the OPR obtained a search warrant, searched Mueller's home and DEA office, and seized items. Mueller was then questioned by the OPR and federal tax authorities. In November 2000, the Department of Justice dropped the matter against Mueller. Mueller sued Gallina under Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents (1971) claiming that Gallina's lie caused a violation of Mueller's Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizures. What will be an ideal response?
