The gonLive reports that the decision Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice comes comes a week after three members of Congress urged a federal probe into wrongdoing by West Linn, Oregon, police in building a questionable theft case against Michael Fesser. The case led West Linn to settle a federal dis- crimination and wrongful arrest lawsuit by Fesser for $600,000. U.S. Office will investigate whether any federal crimes were com- mitted.

allega- tions cross two counties and involved both West Linn and Portland police departments. Clackamas County Dis- trict Attorney John Foote and Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill said they will continue their inquiries to determine if credibility concerns raised in the case about the involved officers should trigger a so-called Brady notice. That refers to an obligation under the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brady v. Mary- land that requires prosecu- tors to disclose to defense lawyers any material that could impeach the cred- ibility of a government witness.

The two district attor- neys requested the crimi- nal inquiry be handled by U.S. Attorney Billy J. Wil- office. litigation un- covered that West Linn po- lice pursued surveillance and the arrest of Fesser in February 2017 as a favor to a friend of then-West Linn Police Chief Terry Timeus.
