Rule

Extending Bivens to new contexts is disfavored; courts must ask whether the case differs meaningfully from Bivens, Davis, and Carlson, and if so, defer to Congress unless there are no alternative remedies and special factors do not counsel hesitation.

Significance

Sharply limited Bivens by requiring courts to decline extension to any new context unless Congress has failed to provide remedies and no special factors counsel hesitation.
