U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2942
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. The district court did not err in granting
summary judgment to the defendant officers on plaintiff's claim that the
officers used excessive force in arresting her decedent as the undisputed
facts demonstrated that the officers' use of deadly force was objectively
reasonable under the circumstances; the court's conclusion that the
individual officers did not violate the deceased's Fourth Amendment rights
resolves the appeal of the district court's order granting summary
judgment to the City of Riverside, its police chief and the Kansas City
Board of Police Commissioners as they could not be liable absent a
constitutional violation by the individual officers.
