Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit July 3, 2007, No. 05-56506 (Dixon v. City of Long Beach)

MEMORANDUM ***

Latrice Dixon appeals the district court’s denial of her motion for judgment as a matter of law under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b). Because the parties are familiar with the facts and proceedings below, we do not recite them here. We affirm.

Though the district court deferred ruling on qualified immunity, see Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 200-201, 121 S.Ct. 2151, 150 L.Ed.
