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.
