How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a complaint failed to state a claim by merely alleging that the District had a “long standing policy, practice and custom that allows police officers to execute search warrants without training its officers” (brackets omitted)
- rejecting Monell liability on failure-to-train theory where plaintiffs “reified] solely upon the alleged unconstitutional search of their apartment as the basis for their claim against the District”
