Kuhn v. Goodlow

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-city building inspector's motion for summary judgment in section 1983 action alleging that defendant effectuated plaintiff's arrest without probable cause on charge of disorderly conduct that arose out of plaintiff's heated dispute with defendant over defendant's failure to issue certificate of occupancy with respect to one of plaintiff's rental properties. Record failed to support plaintiff's allegation that defendant directed police officer to arrest plaintiff, and record otherwise demonstrated that defendant had no personal responsibility for plaintiff's disorderly conduct arrest where arresting officer witnessed incident and made decision to arrest plaintiff.
