Sliwinski v. Middletown (USDC – 2016): Plaintiffs claimed that Connecticut State troopers and various Middletown police officers illegally entered their property and detained them as a result of an investigation into a burglary. The Middletown defendants moved for summary judgment as to all claims in the complaint, arguing that they had no personal involvement in the subject incident, as all Middletown officers merely stood outside of the residence, assisting State Police. The Court agreed and granted summary judgment in favor of the Middletown defendants.
