| Issues: |
Appellant's Statement of the Issues: A. Traill County 49-03-C-00034 (sexual bias in arrest, civil rights, etc.) Did the Court err in granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment: 1. By ruling that the defendants had immunity for their actions? 2. By ruling on the issues of malicious prosecution, false imprisonment, and two year statute of limitations instead of civil right denials? 3. By granting summary judgment without first allowing Riemers any discovery or to amend his complaint? 4. By denying Riemers his state constitutional right to a remedy for the injuries he suffered from the Defendants' biased and unlawful behavior? 5. By consolidating the two cases after first allowing Traill County to file consolidated motions and pleadings? 6. By dismissing Trooper Pulju from the law suit? 7. By awarding costs and disbursements to the Defendants? 8. By ruling on the admissibility of evidence contrary to Rule 56? B. Traill County 49-03-C-00035 (rights of non-convicted under ICCPR) 1. Did the Court err by denying Riemers summary judgment, but granting summary judgment to the Defendants? Appellee's Statement of the Issues: The Case was Properly Dismissed for Insufficient Service of Process A. Service was not effectuated against the State B. Service was not effectuated on Trooper Pulju individually The District Court Lacked Jurisdiction A. The filing of a notice of claim is jurisdictional under North Dakota law B. The claim was properly dismissed because a notice of claim was not filed Appellee's Statement of the Issues: 1. The overriding issue is whether the Trial Court correctly determined that there were no genuine issues of material fact in dispute, and that the Traill County Defendants were entitled to judgment as a matter of law dismissing Riemers's complaints with prejudice. Based upon the arguments made in Riemers's appellant brief the specific issues in this appeal are: I. Is Riemers barred from relitigating the claims and issues involved in this case? II. Are the Traill County Defendants entitled to immunity from the claims made by Riemers? III. Was the Trial Court correct in ruling that the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights conferred no rights on Riemers to bring his claims? | |||||||||
