ELLINGTON ADC 655082 v. FLOWERS (2018)

[Unpublished]

In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Khalan Ellington — who was charged and convicted in two separate criminal cases — appeals the district court’s ¹ adverse grant of summary judgment on a due process claim arising out of a delay in setting his first appearance in the second criminal case. Upon careful de novo review, viewing the record in the light most favorable to Ellington and drawing all reasonable inferences in his favor, we conclude that the totality of the circumstances of this case would not shock the conscience even if there were any possible violation on these facts. See Luckes v. Cty. of Hennepin, 415 F.3d 936, 939–40 (8th Cir. 2005); Hayes v. Faulkner Cty., 388 F.3d 669, 673–74 (8th Cir. 2004). We find that summary judgment was properly granted for the reasons stated in Magistrate Judge Deere’s Recommended Disposition dated January 24, 2018, as adopted by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm.
