TERRY L. WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF BOSTON, et al., Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON DEFENDANTS'
RENEWED MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGEMENT
DEIN, U.S.M.J.
I. INTRODUCTION
This case arises out of the arrest, prosecution and conviction of the plaintiff, Terry L. Williams ("Williams"), for the assault and battery of Bobbie Jean Horsley ("Horsley") on February 9, 2002. Williams claims that no such incident occurred, and that he was unlawfully framed for a crime which he did not commit. Following the reversal of his conviction and the dismissal of the criminal charges against him, Williams brought this action pro se against the defendants, the City of Boston ("City"), Boston police officers John Boyle ("Boyle") and William Kelley ("Kelley") (collectively, the "Officers"), and 20 unnamed individuals from the Boston Police Department, for alleged violations of his constitutional and state law rights.
