Jones v. City of North Las Vegas (9th Cir. - Sept. 8, 2025)

Fair warning: I'm about to make a brief but completely inappropriate and insensitive comment.

Here goes:

I bet that the City of North Las Vegas wishes that Kristi Noem had been appointed to the Ninth Circuit and was on this panel.

(The opinion involves the disputed liability of the City for shooting two innocent dogs during its search for a suspect. The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's dismissal of the lawsuit against the City.  As for Kristi Noem, well, you know.)
