Case Number: 
No. 09-3223
Decision Date: 
April 28, 2010
Federal District: 
C.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Appeal dismissed
Ct. of Appeals lacked jurisdiction to consider denial of defendants-police officers' motion for summary judgment in action alleging that defendants used excessive force in arresting plaintiff on disorderly conduct charges. Dist. Ct.'s denial was not final and appealable order under Johnson, 515 US 304, where basis of ruling was on existence of contested factual questions that precluded defendants from establishing existence of qualified immunity.
