No. 12-3042.

737 F.3d 470 (2013)

Malvin WASHINGTON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Michelle PARKINSON, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided December 11, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kenneth N. Flaxman , Chicago, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Sara K. Hornstra , City of Chicago Law Department, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellee.

Before EASTERBROOK, KANNE, and TINDER, Circuit Judges.


KANNE, Circuit Judge.

Malvin Washington filed a civil suit alleging that the officer who arrested him during a double homicide investigation used excessive force. The jury found in favor of the officer. Washington now appeals, arguing that the district court abused its discretion in denying Washington's challenge for cause to one of the jurors who heard his suit. But Washington waived this challenge, and we reject his argument.
