The following facts are from the clerks transcript. Larry Glynn sued the City of Long Beach and Police Officers Ray Alexander and Sunny Shin asserting violations of Civil Code sections 51.7 and 52.1, subdivision (b). He also asserted causes of action for negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and battery. Glynn alleged that on December 29, 2003, he was driving his wifes car and his preexisting back injury was exacerbated when Officers Alexander and Shin stopped him and searched him.
The City of Long Beach filed a motion in limine to exclude evidence of an internal affairs investigation on the grounds that the results of the investigation were irrelevant to any issue in the case and would prejudice the defendants. The court granted the motion to exclude testimony on internal affairs investigation . . . with the exception of the taped interview of the officers minus certain redaction to be agreed upon by counsel.
The jury found that neither officer subjected Glynn to an unreasonable search or used unreasonable force. Judgment was entered in favor of defendants. Glynn appeals from the judgment.
The judgment is affirmed.
