Case Style: Marshall Edward Glover v. City of Tulsa

Case Number: CJ-2012-5685

Judge: Daman H. Cantrell

Court: District Court, Tulsa County, Oklahoma

Plaintiff's Attorney: Stan Monore, Ann Keele, Kirsten Palfreyman and Natelie Sears

Defendant's Attorney: Gerald Bender and Brandon Burris

Description: Tulsa, OK - Marshall Edward Glover sued the City of Tulsa on a governmental tort claim act negligence theory claiming:
1. Plaintiff is a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
2. The events alleged herein occurred within Tulsa County, Oklahoma.
3. Defendant, City of Tulsa, Oklahoma is a political subdivision in Tulsa County, as defined by Title 51 O.S. § 151, et. seq, that has a police department — an agency exercising jurisdiction within Tulsa, Oklahoma, exclusively — and is responsible for implementing policies and/or customs that are followed by police department employees.
4. At all times material hereto, the Officer Jesse McNeal referred to in this Petition was a municipal police officer employed by the Tulsa Police Department (hereinafter “TPD”), and he acted within the scope of his employment.
5. At all times material hereto, the Officer Richard Urban, Jr. referred to in this Petition was a municipal police officer employed by the Tulsa Police Department (hereinafter “TPD”), and he acted within the scope of his employment.
6. Jurisdiction and venue are proper with this Court.
CAUSE OF ACTION - NEGLIGENCE
7. Paragraphs One through Six are adopted herein and re-stated in their entirety.
8. On June 13, 2012, Plaintiff while parked in a parking lot was approached by two uniformed Tulsa Police Officers — Officers Jesse McNeal and Richard Urban Jr. Plaintiff was arrested without legal cause and by use of unwarranted excessive force.
9. Tulsa Police Officer Jesse McNeal grabbed Plaintiff, threw him while handcuffed, against the police cruiser. He was then manhandled into the police cruiser by both officers, despite his protests that he had recently endured back surgery and was in severe pain. The police officers further denied the Plaintiff access to his pain medications and his cane.
8. As a result of the foregoing negligent, careless, and reckless actions of the aforementioned Tulsa Police Officers, Plaintiff Glover suffered permanent injury and disfigurement, endured great pain and mental anguish, and incurred bills for medical treatment.
9. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of the aforementioned Tulsa Police Officers, who were acting within the scope of their employment as TPD officers, Plaintiff Glover incurred damages as described above for which Defendant City of Tulsa should be liable.
10. Notice of this claim was timely given to Defendant City of Tulsa, and it was denied within ninety (90) days. Not more than one hundred eighty (180) days has passed since said claim was deemed denied.

CANTRELL, DAMAN: Defendant City of Tulsa's motion to dismiss the Bosh claim is granted under the rubric of the Perry case. The liability of the individual officer McNeal was not particularly discussed in this context in Perry, or much detailed in the briefs in the instant matter. Therefore this matter should be discussed in addition with motions set at 3pm Monday 5-11-15.

CANTRELL, DAMAN: Defendant's motion for summary judgment regarding individual liability for the officer is granted. Although perhaps a case of first impression, the Court finds that the Tuffy's case, 212 Pl. 3rd 1158 (Ok. 2009), fn. 22, explicitly provides that employees are relieved from private liability for tortious conduct committed within the scope of employment under the GTCA. The Perry case, 341 P.3rd 689 (Ok.a 2014) provides that a plaintiff's exclusive remedy in this context

05-11-2015 CTFREE

CANTRELL, DAMAN: The Court finds that the process for defining the corporate representative has been waived under tit. 12 sec. 3230 (C)(5) and Rule 5 (g)(9) of the Rules for District Courts which pertains to identification of witnesses, as well as Rule 5(K) pertaining to identification of witnesses after pretrial. While the City has listed a “corporate representative” on the pretrial order makes this analysis somewhat problematic, that listing is defective under the above rules, and Plaintiff has failed to establish in discovery the under sec. 3230 the name of same. Counsel has stipulated that the excessive force policy may be admitted without further authentication.
