*** Law Enforcement Liability Reporter ***

* Deadly Force

SWAT officers were not liable for the death of a 19-month-old girl whom they accidentally shot while trying to rescue her from her cocaine using father, who was holding her hostage. They had justification for the use of deadly force against the father, who had threatened to kill the child, kill himself, and anyone who entered his auto shop.

The officers acted in an objectively reasonable manner after the father shot at them while holding the child. Lopez v. City of Los Angeles, #B219499, 2011 Cal. App. Lexis 729 (Cal. App.).

*** Fire, Police & Corrections Personnel Reporter ***

* Disciplinary Hearings

A police officer's federal lawsuit concerning his arrest and termination for allegedly misappropriating $600 from a crime scene during a search of a home were properly dismissed. His post-suspension hearing satisfied due process requirements, even though it occurred fourteen days after his acquittal on criminal charges arising out of the incident. Nunez-Colon v. Toledo-Davila, #09-1784, 2011 U.S. App. Lexis 10639 (1st Cir.).

* Inmate Housing

A federal appeals court rejected a prisoner's argument that he had a right, under the Ninth Amendment, to choose his own cellmate. Murray v. Bledsoe, #10-4397, 2011 U.S. App. Lexis 11702 (3rd Cir.).

signed up. Looks like an excellent resource; not like the other, more erotic sites you've referred me to in the past...

I am surprised at your naivety! Surely you must agree that there is no better place to see people getting screwed than on a legal website!
