201049P.pdf   08/05/2021  Jeffery Just  v.  Nellie Kuykendall
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1049
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. The district court erred in denying the 
   defendant police officers' motion for summary judgment based on qualified 
   immunity on plaintiff's Fourth Amendment claims as the reports the 
   officers had received provided probable cause to arrest plaintiff for 
   assault in the fourth degree under Missouri law; even if the officers were 
   mistaken that probable cause existed, that mistake was objectively 
   reasonable, and arguable probable cause existed, entitling the officers to 
   qualified immunity; with respect to plaintiff's First Amendment claim 
   based on retaliatory arrest, the officers were also entitled to qualified 
   immunity on this claim based on the existence of probable cause to arrest 
   plaintiff.
