It begins:
A Seattle man charged with disorderly conduct after refusing to show his ID at an Albuquerque airport security point and filming the reaction was cleared of criminal charges in Metropolitan Court in January 2011.
The civil lawsuit Phillip Mocek filed against Transportation Security Administration officers and the city of Albuquerque aviation police, however, hasn’t fared as well.
In a 125-page opinion filed last week, U.S. District Judge James O. Browning dismissed the federal defendants from the lawsuit, and included language helpful to the city’s defense.
Mary Lou Boelcke, Mocek’s attorney, said she expects to appeal the ruling, either before trial or after Browning decides other issues regarding the city.
