172274P.pdf 06/13/2018 Stuart Wright v. United States of America
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-2274
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Tort Claims Act. For the court's prior opinions, see
Wright v. U.S., 545 Fed. Appx 588 (8th Cir. 2013) and Wright v. U.S., 813
F.3d 689 (8th Cir. 2015). The local rules of the Western District of
Missouri did not require the district court to deem Wright's list of
material facts admitted simply because the government did not directly
respond to them; the district court did not err in granting defendants
summary judgment on Wright's claims for false arrest and false
imprisonment as this court has already determined that his initial arrest
and detention were justified; similarly, based on that determination, the
defendants were entitled to summary judgment on Wright's claims for abuse
of process; the court's prior holding on qualified immunity is dispositive
of Wright's assault and battery claim.
