(a) The improper denial of a motion to dismiss or motion for judgment as a matter of law, including a motion for summary judgment, based on the immunity provided under Section 6-5-338.2(a), or any action improperly allowing discovery in violation of Section 6-5-338.2(f), shall entitle a law enforcement officer to mandamus relief from the Alabama Supreme Court. Any petition for a writ of mandamus pursuant to this subsection shall be filed pursuant to the Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure. (b) The filing of a petition for a writ of mandamus shall automatically stay further proceedings in the trial court unless, and to the extent that, the court validly finds upon motion of any party that further proceedings are necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the plaintiff.
