Lin v. District of Columbia

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 11/01/2022 - 10:31

Plaintiff, Mandarin speaker, was not given same opportunity as two others in altercation before arrest; fact that officers had probable cause when they arrived to arrest plaintiff, but not others, provided legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for different treatment, defeating intentional discrimination claim.
