Description

{1} Defendant Bill Weast appeals a jury verdict of $375,000 awarded for violation of Plaintiffs civil rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994). Plaintiff contends Defendant was responsible for his wrongful arrest resulting in a violation of the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. We hold that Plaintiff neither stated nor proved a claim against Defendant for violation of rights secured to him by the Fourth Amendment. Accordingly, we reverse the verdict.
