It's a Section 1983 false arrest case in which the arresting police officer slept with the arrestee's ex-wife, who (among other things) planted drugs on her former spouse. The plaintiff is represented by Mark Geragos, and the Ninth Circuit opinion is written by Judge Reinhardt.
What's your guess as to how the case comes out?
Nope. Judge Reinhardt affirms the grant of summary judgment to the police officer and the City of Glendale.
Judge Reinhardt (not surprisingly) doesn't like the police officer's conduct. And isn't shy about saying so. But he (rightly) holds that, under the facts of this case, there's no Section 1983 violation.
You can't necessarily judge a book by its cover.
