Description

Plaintiff minors, by their guardians ad litem, filed an action for damages in the superior court against two named and ten unnamed Los Angeles police officers. The complaint alleged that defendants deprived plaintiffs of civil rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution by "deliberately assaulting and battering [plaintiffs] without just cause or provocation, by imprisoning [plaintiffs] without reasonable cause or warrant, and by willfully threatening to shoot and injure [plaintiffs]." The action was grounded exclusively on the federal Civil Rights Act. (42 U.S.C. § 1983.)*fn1
