J. Johnston grants a number of Illinois State Police officers’ motion for summary judgment, and partially grants Rockford and its police officers' motion for summary judgment, on a slew of civil rights, conspiracy, emotional distress and due process claims brought by a man who spent 23 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. The man claims police fabricated evidence and coerced testimony against him, and similarly withheld evidence that might have helped his case. The court absolves the Illinois State Police from their role in the alleged conspiracy against the wrongly convicted man, but allows his due process and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims stand against all but two of the implicated Rockford police, who are dismissed from the suit. The man’s indemnification claim against Rockford itself also stands.

J. Wilder-Doomes denies a request by the parish government of Baton Rouge to halt multiple civil rights suits alleging city police officers used a warehouse to strip-search and humiliate citizens during purported searches for illegal drugs. The parish has not established a stay of civil proceedings against officers of the street crimes unit at the so-called “BRAVE Cave” is warranted. No criminal charges have been filed and there is no information regarding the nature or extent of the overlap with any federal criminal investigation. However, the parish may re-urge its request for a stay, “if appropriate, as additional information develops.”

J. Chang partially grants multiple Chicago-area law enforcement officials’ motion for summary judgment on a wrongfully convicted man’s civil rights case. The man spent over 16 years in jail for a murder he didn’t commit after Chicago police fabricated evidence against him. After his conviction was finally vacated the man brought numerous counts not just against the police who worked to put him in jail, but against Chicago, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, the Cook County Sheriff Department and all others who allowed the police to get away with the framing. In the interests of encouraging the parties to settle, the court fully dismisses all claims against several individual police, while allowing other claims for conspiracy, fabrication, malicious prosecution, infliction of emotional distress and indemnification to stand against the city, county and several individual police and higher-ranking law enforcement officials.

J. Jenkins partially grants Chicago and its police officers’ motions to dismiss Chicago residents’ civil rights claims, brought over the city’s use of the controversial ShotSpotter gunshot alarm system. The residents claim the use of ShotSpotter has led to hundreds of wrongful arrests, not to mention police killings. The court dismisses these civil rights claims against the now-resigned police superintendent David Brown, and also tosses an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim and a malicious prosecution claim against the individual cops implicated in the suit. The rest of the suit against the city and its police stands.

J. Brown partially rules in favor of the government in a civil rights action as to the individual's claims for false imprisonment, negligence, false arrest and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The action arose after Customs and Border Protection officers allegedly used excessive force and illegally detained the individual during an inspection at the Atlanta airport. The Federal Tort Claims Act carve-out proviso applies to the individual's tort claims and the customs-duty exception to the Act is therefore inapplicable. Genuine issues of fact exist as to whether the officer violated the Fourth Amendment by using excessive force against the individual. The case is ordered to mediation.

J. Chutkan denies, in part, the district's motion for summary judgment on a father and five of his children's claims related to the execution of a search warrant, during which officers allegedly pointed their weapons at their heads and made the father appear naked in front of his children. There are questions of fact regarding the officers' actions inside the home that preclude judgment on the family's claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress.
