*895 ORDER ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY . JUDGMENT
Re: Dkt. Nos. 64,
This case arises out of the arrest and prosecution of Plaintiff Saint' Dejuan Moore following a fatal traffic accident during a police chase. In the Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”), Plaintiff alleges that Defendants California Highway Patrol (“CHP”) Officer Sean Deise and City of Oakland Police Department (“OPD”) Officer Daniel Tirapelli falsely identified Plaintiff as the driver of the car. He alleges that Officer Deise is liable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for subjecting him to false arrest and that both officers are liable for malicious prosecution for murder and other charges resulting from the collision. Plaintiff further alleges that the City of Oakland is liable for its failure to train its officers to conduct criminal investigations to prevent malicious prosecution. (See Dkt. No. 44.) Defendants now move for summary judgment on all of Plaintiffs’ claims. (Dkt. No. 64, 69.) Upon careful consideration of the parties’ submissions, the entire record of this case, and the arguments of counsel at a hearing held on February 23, 2017, the Court GRANTS Defendants’ motions as set forth below.
