Memorandum to The Director
Re: ISERIA EAMPTON, et al.
CITY OF CHICAGO, ¢tc al.
according to Judg# Swygert, a joint tortfeasor is synononous
with a co-conspirator. Again, another dangsrous precedent
‘has been set. Joint operations between state and Pedsral .
agencies Wnerein a tort occurs could be the foundation for
a conspiracy claim under Section 1996. .
-Ragarding the alleced vost-raid covar-up, Judge
Swygert holds that the plaintiffs presented a prima facie
case against the Federal deferdants. The alleged activities .
in the post-raid coverup include the prosecutien of the sur-~
vivors, the manipulation of the news media, the internal
police _avestigation, ane the Federal Grand J investiga-
tion of the incident. What SAs sohnson, [—_[utechelt, and
O'Neal have to do with any of these activities is beyond
comprehension. Judge Swygert again "passes on the ultimate
validity of plaintiffs’ clains.” ;
Alleging violation of Sections 1986 and 1985{(2) of
witle 42, U.S. Code (Obstruction of Justice), duege Swygeart
finds a concerted effort to suppress the facts on the part
Of the Feds ral Gefendants. He states that the Pederal da-
a failed ; nz i ht by the Pederal
defendants obstructed the discovery in the praesent civil
suit.
Judge Swygert Giscusses the doctrines of absolute
and gqgualifiad immunity, holding the former not applicable
to the Federal defendants. Concerning ths latter, Judge.
Swygert states that the allecations of the plaintiffs in
this case clearly complain of official misconduct which is
voutsice the ambit of the doctrine of qualified immunity.
