U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-3922
District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Heaney, Circuit
Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. Six-day detention at adult detention center
following entry of guilty plea for making terroristic threats and court's
imposition of conditional release did not rise to a constitutional violation;
municipal policy was not deliberately indifferent to constitutional rights
of convicted felons subject to conditional release; and policy was not the
moving force behind the prolonged detention. Plaintiff did not show
widespread pattern of failing to follow policy. Summary judgment to
defendants was proper. Judge Heaney dissents.
