Ricardo Salazar-Limon v. City of Houston, Texas

Summary

The Supreme Court denied a petition for certiorari reviewing a civil rights excessive-force case. In a concurrence, Justice Alito agreed with the denial, noting the Court typically does not grant review for factual disputes in summary judgment. In a dissent, Justice Sotomayor argued certiorari should have been granted because the Fifth Circuit erred in applying summary judgment standards when witness accounts conflicted.
