Yury Kolesnikov and Geoffrey Plowden Defeat RICO Claim in California District Court

San Diego Partner Yury A. Kolesnikov and Los Angeles Partner Geoffrey R. Plowden recently secured a significant victory for the City of Santa Monica and its Deputy City Attorney in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiff had previously unsuccessfully sued the City of Santa Monica in state and federal courts with regard to an alleged wrist injury that he sustained during his arrest for alleged domestic violence. He then commenced this federal court action, alleging several grievances stemming from the revocation of his medical license in 2017 and the aforementioned arrest in 2019.
