Hickey, 580 F.3d 922, 927 (9th Cir. 2009). Under this
pragmatic approach, we have in other contexts applied
harmless error analysis to district courts’ errors in following
our divestiture procedures. Hickey, 580 F.3d at 927 (finding
error harmless where “Hickey’s interlocutory appeal was
ultimately a losing one”); Claiborne, 727 F.2d at 851 (finding
that the district court erred in finding the appeal frivolous and
proceeding with the case, but noting that there would be little
point in forcing the district court to repeat actions taken in the
interim). Because this logic applies equally to qualified
immunity appeals, we conclude that the actions taken in the
district court in violation of Chuman require reversal only if
the error was prejudicial.
