Eighth Circuit: Tyrone Patterson v. City of Omaha

Bifurcation of trial into individual liability and corporate liability (government) didn't create a second action for the purposes of the deadline for filing notice of appeal.

No abuse of discretion in finding that unlawful force was used in the arrest and award of nominal damages where there is doubt as to causation of injuries.

Grant of summary judgment does not violate plaintiff's right to a jury trial.
