   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2484
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. In action alleging defendants violated
   plaintiff's civil rights by falsely arresting him, the district court's
   instructions complied with the Supreme Court of Minnesota's
   interpretation of the statute for obstructing legal process and the court did
   not err in rejecting plaintiff's proposed instructions; district court did 
   not abuse its discretion by refusing to admit evidence concerning plaintiff's
   acquittal on the obstruction charge as the acquittal did not bear on the
   question of whether the officer had probable cause to arrest and detain
   plaintiff.
