This case, having been tried before a jury on February 4, 5, 6, and 7, 2013, and the jury

18

unanimously deciding that Defendants Gordon McGhie, Joseph Destito, and Robert Orth had

probable cause to both arrest Scott Asher and search his residence based upon the facts

20

presented, the Court now enters Judgment upon the jury verdict.

21

All of Plaintiffs’ claims against all the Defendants in this action have previously been

Fourth Amendment violations, as well as the alternative claim for attorney fees under 42 U.S.C.

24

§ 1988. The Court also specifically held that Plaintiff Kimberly Asher was a party to this case

25

through the duration of trial for the purpose of potentially recovering damages, depending upon

26

27

Because the jury has found that Defendants McGhie, Destito, and Orth acted with

28
