Eighth Circuit: Stuart Wright v. United States of America

Local rules mandate that the reply brief to a motion for summary judgment must be in a certain form, not that it must contest all statements of fact not waived.

Under law of the case, basketball player falsely arrested justified the subsequent restraint on his liberty by briefly backing away from the police; this presents no issue for trial.

As the arrest and detention were justified, no abuse of process.

Arrest and tasing midcourt did not rise to the level of assault, as the officers thought that they were arresting a dangerous person.
