Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided February 6, 2002No. 00-15065PublishedCited by 51 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
CANBY, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff Lloyd Dela Cruz (“Dela Cruz”) appeals a summary judgment in favor of a Hawaii prosecutor in an action alleging that the prosecutor violated Dela Cruz’s constitutional rights by making false statements in an affidavit supporting a motion to revoke Dela Cruz’s bail. The district court concluded that the Defendant, County of Kauai Prosecuting Attorney Michael Soong, was entitled to qualified immunity, and dismissed Dela Cruz’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Because we agree that Soong is entitled to qualified immunity, we affirm the ruling of the district court.
