The Court GRANTS summary judgment in favor of the Oakland County Defendants on this claim to the extent that it is based on the stop of the vehicle driven by Plaintiff. The Court DENIES summary judgment on this claim to the extent that it is based on Plaintiff's interactions with the Oakland County Defendants after recognition that the driver of the stopped vehicle was not Ray Slayton.
• Count I — Conspiracy to Violate Plaintiff's Constitutional Rights. The Court GRANTS summary judgment in favor of the Oakland County Defendants on this claim.
• Count I — Excessive Force. The Court DENIES Defendant Emmi's motion for summary judgment on this claim (the other Oakland County Defendants did not move for summary judgment on this claim).
