4373 REVIEW 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 (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) 145 CA4 701 [See: 42 USC 1983; Hernandez v City of Pomona (RhrgGrtd) 138 CA4 506, T/AT 5/06; City of Simi Valley v Superior Court 111 CA4 1077, T/AT 10/03; Harris v Grimes 104 CA4 180, T/AT 1/03]
