Outcome

The trial court's summary judgment dismissal of Cantu's negligence, negligent training, agency, and respondeat superior claims was affirmed. The court found Deputy Barnes did not breach any duty and that Cantu's own action of veering his bicycle in front of the patrol car was a superseding cause that broke the chain of causation.
