• holding that a violation of state law does not “automatically translate into a deprivation of procedural due process under the United States Constitution.”
• concluding that the issuance of a traffic citation did not effect a seizure until the plaintiff failed to appear in court and was served with a bench warrant
• rejecting a § 1983 unreasonable seizure claim against an officer because the officer “had no role in [the] issuance of the bench warrant”
• rejecting a § 1983 unreasonable seizure claim against an officer because the mayor’s court had issued the improper bench warrant
• finding municipal liability where a state statute authorized but did not require a city to take a certain action
