UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF ARIZONA JUDGE ROSL YN SILVER
CONFIDENTIAL JUROR QUESTIONNAIRE
STATEMENT OF THE CASE: Plaintiff Teresa August alleges that Defendant City of Phoenix police officers used excessive force in violation of 42 use 1983 when they arrested her at her house on June 10, 2002. Plaintiff Teresa August alleges that the force used by the officers was excessive and
caused the dislocation of her right elbow. She claims damages for the deprivation of her federal constitutional rights and stemming from the injury to her elbow.
Defendants deny liability and assert the use of force during her lawful arrest was reasonable under the circumstances. Defendants further assert that any injury sustained by
Plaintiff was the result of her unlawful resistance to a legal arrest. Defendants deny that Plaintiff is entitled to any damages.
(Plaintiff objects to Defendant's second sentence in second paragraph for reasons stated in Proposed Pre-trial Order]
