182982P.pdf   01/28/2020  Tamatrice Williams  v.  City of Sherwood
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2982
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Erickson and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. The judicial decisions of a duly elected judge 
   are not the kind of decisions that expose municipalities to Section 1983 
   liability; neither the city council nor the mayor has the power to set 
   judicial policy for Arkansas district court judges or the power to ratify 
   their decisions even if the city's policymakers knew of the judge's 
   conduct and approved of it; the district court did not err in dismissing 
   plaintiff's claims about the court's failure to inquire into her indigency 
   and failure to appoint counsel, along with her derivative claims about the 
   practices of the Sherwood District Court.
