In re the Guardianship of Koch

How courts have described this case

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

• declining to give a prior, vacated ruling on exculpatory evidence preclusive effect because “[a]dhering to a vacated judgment would circumvent collateral estoppel’s finality element by giving force to a void ruling”
• “While both Brady and Youngblood protect exculpatory evidence, Youngblood focuses on its preservation, whereas Brady focuses on its delivery.”
• if individual employees are not liable, then the county is not liable under Monell because plaintiff did not suffer a constitutional injury attributable to a custom or policy
• “A police officer who manufactures false evidence against a criminal defendant violates due process if that evidence is later used to deprive the defendant of her liberty in some way.”
