MATTHEW F. LEITMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On November 26, 2024, the Court held a hearing on a motion for summary judgment filed by Defendants Ryan Ruloff and Matthew Webb. (See Mot. for Summ. J., ECF No. 23.) For the reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART as follows:
1. The motion is GRANTED to the extent it seeks judgment in favor of Defendants on Plaintiff Ian Land's claims for excessive force (Count II) and malicious prosecution (Count V). (See Am. Compl., ECF No. 8.) The motion is also GRANTED to the extent it seeks judgment in favor of Defendants on Land's claim for civil conspiracy (Count VI) because Land voluntarily abandoned this claim. (See Resp. at ¶ 6, ECF No. 26, PageID.358.)
2. The motion is DENIED to the extent it seeks judgment in favor of Defendants on Land's claims for unlawful seizure (Count III) and unlawful search (Count IV). (See Am. Compl., ECF No. 8.)
IT IS SO ORDERED.
