James

MEMORANDUM *

Larry James was arrested by a deputy sheriff of Adams County, Idaho, for entering the driveway of his estranged wife’s residence in violation of a protection order. He brought this action against the County, several law enforcement personnel, and a magistrate, alleging various state law claims and claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985 arising out of the arrest.
