Gai Levy v. Marion county Sheriff, et al.
19-1424
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Chief Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson.
Civil. Affirms grant of Gai Levy’s motion for summary judgment against his claim that the Marion County Sheriff and the Consolidated City of Indianapolis and Marion County violated his constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for unlawfully detaining him after the Marion Superior Court order his release from jail. Finds the testimony and evidence affirms the district court’s decision that there was no dispute of material fact as to whether the court entered an order for Levy to self-report to Marion County Community Corrections after his first court appearance. Holds that because the Marion County sheriff and the city of Indianapolis tried to implement a fix to overcome a glitch in the release processing system, they did not to act with deliberate indifference to the risk of detainees’ overdetention.
