Selena Brooks v. Daniel Sweeney

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the defendants on all claims arising from the plaintiff’s arrest for failing to repair a leaking septic system. It held that the undisputed facts established probable cause for the arrest, defeating the common-law tort claims; that the individual defendants were protected by qualified immunity from the equal-protection claims; and that the negligent-supervision and municipal claims consequently failed. No separate opinions were filed.
