How courts have described this case

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

  • concluding that municipal episodic acts or omissions claim failed summary judgment because plaintiff “cannot state a § 1983 claim against any of these three [jailer] defendants”
  • holding that the police did not need probable cause to use an onboard computer to check a stranded motorist’s license plate number since “[a] motorist has no privacy interest in their license plate number”
  • holding that two officers were not deliberately indifferent to a detainee’s medical needs where one went out of his way to get her inhaler and the other informed booking personnel that she had asthma
  • plaintiff detainee’s complaint turned on jail personnel’s “alleged failures to take better care of her” and to “medically screen her and secure her to treatment,” and such complaint “perfectly fits the definition of the episodic omission”
  • “A motorist has no privacy interest in her license plate number.”
