4223 REHEARING GRANTED Since reasonable conduct in civil rights law does not necessarily mean the same as reasonable conduct under negligence law, a federal court's finding in a Civil Rights Act claim (i.e., 1983 claim) that police officers acted reasonably in shooting a person they were arresting does not, in a state negligence action, preclude litigation of whether unreasonable force was used in making the arrest.CitationHERNANDEZ v CITY OF POMONA (Civil Rights) 138 CA4 506 [See: 42 USC 1983; City of Simi Valley v Superior Court 111 CA4 1077, T/AT 10/03; Harris v Grimes 104 CA4 180, T/AT 1/03]
