Reid v. Cleveland Police Department asks whether the law of the case doctrine requires that an appellate holding in a criminal appeal must apply to a subsequent civil proceeding brought by the criminal defendant against parties who were not party to the criminal appeal. The Eighth District had held that the answer was yes, and the defendant police department and officers have appealed. The plaintiff is pro se and did not file a response to the memorandum in support of jurisdiction. At first glance, it is not clear to me why this is a law-of-the-case question rather than issue or claim preclusion, and I wonder whether this will be an error-correction decision. (I think it's unlikely that the Court finds law-of-the-case to apply here.)
