• SHARNICK V. D'ARCHANGELO
  Plaintiff: Attorney for the plaintiff, Richard Sharnick. The action filed by the plaintiff sought to recover compensatory and punitive damages to redress an alleged violation of the plaintiff's rights to freedom from false arrest, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. The actions are brought against the arresting officers, Dennis D'Archangelo and Detective Frank A. Podpolucha. The defendants subsequently each filed motions for a summary judgement. Upon review of the case the court looks at the motion for each officer separately. IN regards to Podpolucha, the court found that he was entitled to qualified immunity from the claims of false arrest and malicious prosecution. Therefore his motion for summary judgement was granted. IN regards to Officer D'Archangelo the court finds that while weak, the plaintiff does have cause to make his case for excessive force. There for D'Archangelo's motion for summary judgment is denied.
