Description

Charles R. Brown and Dennis W. Maynor appeal the district courts grant of judgment as matter of law, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 50, in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the Sheriff of Palm Beach County, in his official capacity, for injuries arising out of allegedly unjustified arrests in 1994. These arrests were effectuated by a Deputy Sheriff, and plaintiffs concede that the Deputy Sheriff was not carrying out the instructions of the Sheriff, that the Sheriff did not know about, ratify, or consent to the Deputy Sheriffs acts, and that there was no custom of unjustified arrests. Therefore, the district court reasoned, liability was barred under the doctrine of Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658, 98 S. Ct. 2018 (1978), which provides that liability of municipalities and other governmental entities under § 1983 is limited to instances of official policy or custom.
