4078 REVIEW GRANTED Judgment in a federal action based on a county's failure to timely release incorrectly arrested persons does not have the effect of issue preclusion (i.e., res judicata; collateral estoppel) in a subsequent state action based on a confinement stemming from the wrongful issuance of a parole hold, even though the same incident led to a plaintiff's participation in both actions; public entities and their employees are immune from liability for the mistaken arrest and confinement of a plaintiff as a result of a parole hold issued for a different person.CitationPEREZ-TORRES v STATE (Wrong Man)132 CA4 49 [See: GovC 845.8; Venegas v County 32 C4 820, T/AT 5/04; Swift v Dep't of Corr 116 CA4 1365, T/AT 4/04; Fleming v State 34 CA4 1378, T/AT 6/95]
