Blair v. District of Columbia — Qualified-Immunity and Remand Opinion (ECF No. 46)

Ten-page memorandum opinion by Judge Amir H. Ali. The court granted the officers summary judgment on Blair’s federal claims based on qualified immunity, denied Blair’s cross-motion, and remanded the remaining D.C.-law claims. Viewing evidence in Blair’s favor, the court said a jury could find the challenged baton strikes objectively unreasonable; the ruling did not establish final civil liability.
