A civil suit by the family of a man fatally shot by Atlantic City police officers in 2014 claiming they used unreasonable and excessive force was largely dismissed on summary judgment by a U.S. District Court.

“For the foregoing reasons, Atlantic City’s motion for summary judgment will be granted and plaintiffs’ claims against Atlantic City will be dismissed with prejudice,” wrote U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb of the District of New Jersey on Aug. 30. “Additionally, the officers’ motion for summary judgment will be granted in part, and denied in part.”
