U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2179
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. District court did not err in granting
defendants summary judgment on civil rights claims brought against
arresting officers, the city of Dexter, the public defender, the probation
officers and two county sheriffs. Probable cause existed to arrest Gibson
in January and April 2008, there was insufficient evidence of a conspiracy
between the public defender and prosecutor, there was probable cause to
arrest Gibson for violating probation in May, and the sheriffs were not
deliberately indifferent to defer to instructions from the Department of
Corrections. Claims against the City of Dexter are without merit.
