AC46182-
Belton v. Dragoi (“At issue on appeal is whether the trial court
properly rendered summary judgment for the defendants as to the plaintiff’s
claims that the defendants committed a battery on him and falsely arrested him.
Specifically, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly concluded (1) with
respect to the alleged battery, that there are no genuine issues of material
fact as to whether the defendants used more than reasonable force during the
altercation and (2) with respect to the alleged false arrest, that (a) the
defendants were entitled to governmental immunity because the plaintiff had
failed to raise a claim of negligent false arrest and (b) there are no genuine
issues of material fact as to whether the defendants had probable cause to
arrest the plaintiff. We agree with the plaintiff’s first claim but disagree
with his other claims. Accordingly, we reverse in part the judgment of the
trial court.”)
