County of Los Angeles, California, et al. v. Angel Mendez, et al.
1. Whether the Ninth Circuit disregarded this Court's clear directives on remand and whether, in a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, a plaintiff's injuries resulting from a police officer's use of force may be proximately caused by the officer's failure to secure a search warrant?
2. Whether, in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, conduct giving rise to an officer's reasonable use of force is an intervening, superseding event which breaks the chain of causation for damages stemming from the officer's failure to secure a warrant?
3. Whether a federal Court of Appeals may reverse a district court's determination under Rule 52(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that an officer did not breach his duty of care to use reasonable force in a negligence action, without applying a clearly erroneous standard of review?
