023705P.pdf   03/16/2004  Demetrius Gatlin  v.  Sergeant Green
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3705
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - civil rights. Police officer was entitled to qualified 
   immunity on claim he violated plaintiff's decedent's civil rights when he 
   provided advice about the handling of a letter from a prisoner which 
   revealed plaintiff's decedent was cooperating with authorities in a drug 
   investigation; complaint failed to state a Section 1983 claim against the 
   City of Minneapolis, as there was no evidence of a discriminatory policy, 
   practice or custom in connection with how the matter was handled, nor 
   was there any evidence of a conspiracy to violate the victim's rights.
