MCCULLEY v. JONES PCSO (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

Adelina MCCULLEY, Clarence J. McCulley, John M. Richmond, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. Detective Jeffrey JONES, (PCSO), individually, Grady Judd, in his official capacity as Sheriff of the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Defendants-Appellees.

No. 18-10243

Decided: May 07, 2019

Before WILSON, JILL PRYOR, and TALLMAN,* Circuit Judges.

Michael Maddux, Michael P. Maddux, PA, Tampa, FL, for Plaintiffs-Appellants Jonathan Barnet Trohn, Campbell Trohn Tamayo & Aranda, PA, Lakeland, FL, for Defendants-Appellees

Adelina McCulley, Clarence McCulley, and John Richmond (collectively, Appellants) brought § 1983 malicious prosecution actions against Detective Jeffrey Jones. The district court dismissed Appellants’ complaint, reasoning that Jones was entitled to qualified immunity because he had probable cause to arrest Appellants. Appellants then moved to amend the judgment, which was denied. Appellants appealed. After careful review and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm the district court’s well-reasoned opinion.
