How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that municipality did not condone conduct where officer accused of false arrest was suspended by department
  • holding that two prior incidents of unlawful conduct represents “exceedingly thin gruel” for municipal liability
  • holding that “only one prior incident similar to own of which [the defendant] was or should have been aware” did not establish deliberate indifference
  • holding that after “filter[ing] out unrelated accusations,” two instances outside of plaintiff’s accusation insufficient to establish municipal custom
  • holding that even assuming police officers violated plaintiffs constitutional rights, plaintiff cannot hold the city liable for the violation because she failed to establish that an official policy or custom caused her specific injuries
  • finding that the plaintiff’s claimed injury was “so insubstantial that it cannot as a matter of law support her claim”
