Bahl v. County of Ramsey, et al :: Eighth Circuit :: US Courts of Appeals Cases :: US Federal Case Law :: US Case Law :: US Law :: Justia

Justia.com Opinion Summary: Plaintiff appealed the district court's order granting the City of St. Paul's motion for summary judgment and dismissing his disability discrimination claims brought against the City under the anti-discrimination provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. 12132; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act), 29 U.S.C. 794; the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA), Minn. Stat. 363A.12, as well as his claim for negligence. The court affirmed the district court's entry of summary judgment in favor of the City on plaintiff's claims regarding the traffic stop and plaintiff's claims regarding the statement of charges. Because a reasonable jury could conclude that a public service had been initiated and was stopped due to plaintiff's disability, the court reversed and remanded for further proceedings on the post-arrest claim. The court reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment on the City's request for vicarious official liability with respect to the post-arrest interview. Finally, the court affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment on the negligence per se claim.
