Gill v. Thomas
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided May 15, 1996No. 95-2303PublishedCited by 23 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
STAHL, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff-appellant Michael Gill sought redress under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in Maine’s federal district court for a police officer’s alleged use of excessive force in arresting him following a routine traffic stop. After a two-day trial before a magistrate judge, 1 the jury returned a verdict for the police officer. Gill appeals the magistrate judge’s denial of his in limine motion to preclude evidence of his prior misdemeanor convictions. Because we find that Gill waived his right to appeal the in limine ruling, we affirm.
