On August 27, 2019, a judge dismissed the charges against Land.[1]
On June 6, 2021, Land filed a federal lawsuit against the city and Walden, claiming violations of his rights under the Fourth Amendment.[1]
On September 20, 2021, the city claimed that Walden "exercised all due care to comply with the law and is entitled to qualified immunity".[1]
In October 2022, the city claimed that Walden had reasonable suspicion as required by Terry v Ohio and probable cause to arrest Land.[2]
On October 26, 2022, the judge ruled that Walden's contact with Land should have ended when it became clear that Land was not sleeping in the park or in need of assistance, and that the city was not responsible for Walden's actions.[2]
On November 22, 2022, the city settled the lawsuit for $30,000.[3]
