How courts have described this case

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

holding that allegations of two-year-old girl that suspect had sexually abused her did not provide officers reasonable suspicion to detain suspect’s wife
recognizing that in some instances, bare allegations of wrongdoing, without any investigation, may not give rise to probable cause
concluding that “red marks that were visible for days afterwards” and “indentions” were de minimis injuries
holding that excessive force claim failed because “red marks that were visible for days afterwards” and “indentions” caused by handcuffing were de minimis injuries
holding that officers’ “hauling” plaintiff into patrol car in the middle of the night without any explanation during investigation of serious felony did not rise to unconstitutional excessive force
concluding that evidence that handcuffs “left red marks that were visible for days afterward” was “insufficient, as a matter of law” to establish non-de minimis injury for an excessive force claim
