How courts have described this case

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

  • reversing district court determination that county was not liable for sheriff’s actions because “the sheriff’s decision . . . is the kind of single decision by the relevant policymaker that can be the basis of liability
  • “State trial court decisions are treated somewhat differently, and quite naturally, with somewhat less deference than is given to state appellate courts.”
  • “No discretion in the official and a reasonable expectation in the citizen are central elements.”
  • “When there is no ‘property interest, there is nothing subject to Due Process protections and our inquiry ends.’” (quoting Cabrol v. Town of Youngsville, 106 F.3d 101, 105 (5th Cir. 1997))
