Chavez, et al. v. Ziglar, et al., No. 10-17659 (9th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePlaintiffs, operators of a shuttle service between Sesabe and Tucson, Arizona, alleged that Border Patrol agents stopped their shuttle repeatedly and in violation of their Fourth Amendment rights. Plaintiffs brought claims against the Border Patrol agents as well as the agents' supervisors, who they claimed reviewed and directed the stops. The court held that plaintiffs' complaint failed to state a claim against any supervisory defendant other than Ralph Hunt, who directly participated in the alleged underlying violations. Accordingly, the court affirmed the district court's ruling with respect to Hunt, but reversed and directed the entry of final judgment with respect to the remaining supervisors.
