“identify the policy, connect the policy to the city itself and show that the particular injury was incurred because of the execution of that policy.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We do not hold that every determination in a preliminary hearing'should be given preelusive effect in a subsequent § 1983 action. Some preliminary hearings are little more than formalities. Also, even when an opportunity for full adversary proceedings is afforded, strategic concerns may counsel against engaging in such an exercise at the early stages of a criminal proceeding. However, where the state affords an opportunity for an accused to contest probable cause at a preliminary hearing and the accused does so, a finding of probable cause by the examining magistrate or state judge should foreclose relit-igation of that finding in a subsequent § 1983 action.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Where a party has had a 'full and fair opportunity' to litigate an issue in earlier state proceedings, he is precluded from relitigating the same issue in a later federal case.”
