How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a sufficiently detailed victim statement alone sufficed to establish probable cause for the arrest
• holding that inconsistencies in an officer’s testimony and police report “do not establish that [the officer] fabricated evidence”
• concluding that even probable cause may exist on the basis of a tip or information that turns out to be false
• holding that dismissal of the appeal was inappropriate where appellant failed to attach to his notice of appeal the district court’s order granting defendant qualified immunity
• explaining that probable 15 cause may be established by a victim’s statements that provide “facts sufficiently detailed to cause 16 a reasonable person to believe a crime had been committed and the named suspect was the 17 perpetrator”
• affirming summary judgment against plaintiff and rejecting argument that arresting officer’s reliance on translated witness statements was improper
