Bobby Antonio Davis v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• affirming the district court’s comparison of plaintiff’s allegations to bodycam footage at the motion-to-dismiss stage
• because the officers did not commit a constitutional violation “they are entitled to qualified immunity, and we end our qualified immunity analysis”
• “a district court may consider evidence attached to a motion to dismiss” if it is: (1) central to the plaintiff’s claims, depicting the underlying events; and (2) its authenticity is not disputed
• “[B]ecause we determine that no underlying constitutional violation occurred, [the plaintiff’s] supervisory liability claim against the chief of police and his Monell claim against the county fail as a matter of law.”
• “Where a video is clear and obviously contradicts the plaintiff’s alleged facts, we accept the video’s depiction instead of the complaint’s account and view the facts in the light depicted by the video.” (cleaned up and citation omitted)
• affirming Baker’s extension of the doctrine to body-worn camera footage
