Markowitz v. City of Pasadena
This lawsuit arose from appellant Philip Markowitzs arrest by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), who were acting on a request from the Pasadena Police Department. Appellant sued the City of Pasadena and officers of the Pasadena Police Department (Pasadena defendants), and the City of Los Angeles and LAPD officers (Los Angeles defendants), alleging insufficient probable cause justifying his arrest, and mistreatment by the LAPD during and after the arrest. On the Pasadena defendants motion, the trial court granted summary judgment against appellant as to those defendants.[1] On appeal, appellant argues there were disputed facts as to the probable cause supporting his arrest, and claims that the Pasadena defendants are responsible for the manner in which he was arrested.He also argues the trial court erred in denying his evidentiary objections to portions of the Pasadena defendants declarations filed in support of their motion for summary judgment. Court disagree and affirm the judgment.
