Claim Types
Outcome
The court granted in part and denied in part both defendants' motion for summary judgment and plaintiffs' cross-motion. Plaintiffs prevailed on liability against Officer Harber on federal civil rights, Massachusetts Civil Rights Act, and false imprisonment claims, but the City of Boston was granted summary judgment on the federal claim due to failure to allege municipal policy or custom.
