Burke v. Twp. of Cheltenham

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that plaintiff’s allegation that criminal charges were brought against him “as a direct consequence of the filing” of an internal affairs complaint against police officers was adequately alleged a claim of First Amendment retaliation
• finding that Plaintiff's claims against certain defendants for false arrest, false imprisonment, unlawful restraint in handcuffs, and a lack of probable cause to arrest Plaintiff, were barred by Heck due to Plaintiff's guilty plea for disorderly conduct
• construing the defendants’ motion to dismiss as applicable only to the federal law claims, not state law claims joined under the court’s pendent jurisdiction, because the motion invoked only § 1983 immunity to the exclusion of separate state law immunity defenses
• strip search in public with little justification
