The following excerpt is from Porter v. City of Davis Police Dep't, No. 2:14-cv-02984-KJM-DB (E.D. Cal. 2018):
Although immunity does not apply to plaintiff's intentional infliction of emotional distress claim, the claim nonetheless cannot survive summary judgment because no reasonable juror could conclude the officers here committed "extreme and outrageous" conduct that caused plaintiff "severe" or "extreme" emotional distress. Hughes v. Pair, 46 Cal. 4th 1035, 1050-51 (2009). Conduct is "outrageous" only when it is so "extreme as to exceed all bounds of what is usually tolerated in a civilized community." Id. (citation and quotation marks omitted).
