Ind. Decisions - 7th Circuit decides one Indiana case today
In Michelle Wheeler v. Lawson (ND Ind., Judge Miller), a 24-page opinion, Judge Ripple writes:
Michelle Wheeler filed this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Ronald Lawson, individually and in his official capacity as an officer of the Starke County Sheriff’s Department. Ms. Wheeler alleges that Detective Lawson violated the Fourth Amendment, as made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment, by unlawfully arresting her without probable cause for maintaining a common nuisance. Detective Lawson filed a motion for summary judgment, which the district court granted. Ms. Wheeler timely appeals. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
