No, that's a separate question. Qualified immunity is about whether the cops can be punished for their misconduct, but what is being appealed is a crazy court decision that basically says satire and parody isn't protected speech unless is basically says "THIS IS SATIRE" at the very beginning. Often courts rule that a search was invalid or a conviction is tossed out, but almost never are the cops punished for the invalid search or arrest.
