Date Filed Document Text
August 15, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 226 Memorandum Opinion and Order Plaintiff voluntarily entered into the Release-Dismissal Agreement. The Release-Dismissal Agreement was not the result of prosecutorial misconduct and is not contrary to public interest. Accordingly, this Court finds that the Release-Dismissal Agreement is enforceable. Magistrate Judge George J. Limbert on 8/15/2016. (S,L)
June 17, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 198 Memorandum Opinion and Order: Defendants' motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 159 ) is granted in part and denied in part. In light of these rulings, the following remains for trial: (1) Derek's excessive force claim against defendants Bickett and Didyk; (2) whether Brian's Release-Dismissal Agreement is enforceable and, if not, (3) Brian's excessive force claim against Evans. Judge Sara Lioi on 6/17/2016. (P,J)
April 18, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 107 Memorandum Opinion and Order: The Court finds no reason to modify its previous ruling with respect to qualified immunity. Therefore, defendants motion to reconsider (Doc. No. 100 ) is granted but, upon reconsideration, the Court adheres to it s ruling that a material factual dispute prevents summary judgment on the question of qualified immunity with respect to Didyk and Bickett. Having now resolved all pending motions, and in view of the fact that all discovery should be complete, the Court will, by separate order, schedule this matter for a jury trial during the two-week period beginning July 22, 2013. The final pretrial hearing shall take place on July 10, 2013 at 3:00 PM. Judge Sara Lioi on 4/18/2013. (P,J)
September 7, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 99 Memorandum Opinion and Order: Defendants' motion for summary judgment is granted. (Doc. No. 89 ). All that remains for trial in this case is Count One as it relates to the individual defendants. Judge Sara Lioi on 9/7/2012. (P,J)
August 26, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 66 Memorandum Opinion and Order granting in part and denying in part Defendants' Motion for summary judgment (Related Doc # 39 ). The Court grants summary judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims brought by Brian Patterson and dis misses those claims. However, because there are material factual disputes regarding how the arrest of Derek Patterson occurred, the Court cannot declare that the defendant officers are entitled to qualified immunity on his § 1983 claim. That claim, along with all the other claims of Derek Patterson, must proceed. By separate order, the Court will schedule a status conference with counsel. Judge Sara Lioi on 8/26/2009.(B,IE)
