Description
This is an appeal from an order dismissing an action brought against the City of Twin Falls and officers of its police department. The plaintiffs, Curtis and Robert Grant, allege that they were unlawfully arrested, detained, and physically abused while in custody. The suit is grounded in the Federal Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and in the Idaho Tort Claims Act, I.C. §Â§ 6-901 to -928. In his order of dismissal, the district Judge held that the defendants had not been timely served under Rule 4(a), I.R.C.P., nor had the case been diligently prosecuted as required by Rule 41(b). The sole issue presented on appeal is whether the district Judge abused his discretion in making these determinations. For reasons explained below, we conclude that he did.
