Morgan v. Glendale Police Dept. CA2/3
In 2013, City of Glendale police officers received reports that a man was behaving oddly and was trying to open doors in an apartment complex. When officers arrived at the complex, they found plaintiff and appellant Donald W. Morgan, who appeared to be homeless and incoherent. Based on the reports and Morgan’s behavior, officers found probable cause to place him on a 72-hour hold under Welfare and Institutions Code section 5150 (a 5150 hold). Morgan spent seven days at College Hospital Cerritos (CHC). Claiming that probable cause did not exist for the hold, Morgan sued CHC, the police department, and the officer who detained him. The trial court granted defendants’ motions for summary judgment. Morgan appeals. We affirm the judgments.
