Nash v. United States, Not Reported in Fed. Supp., 2023 WL 2330692

Facts

On February 1, 2020, Plaintiff Cody Nash was stopped by Deputy Corbin Hradecky in Monroe County, Florida, for a missing taillight. During the stop, Deputy Hradecky called for a CBP Agent to conduct a canine sniff of Nash's vehicle. Agent Hernan Marin arrived and requested to search the vehicle, which Nash did not consent to. Following a series of aggressive actions by Agent Marin, Nash was handcuffed and placed in a squad car, after which a canine search was conducted that did not yield any contraband.

Rule

The court applied the principles established in Bivens and subsequent cases, particularly focusing on whether the case presented a new context and whether special factors counseled hesitation in extending a Bivens remedy.

Analysis

The court determined that the case presented a new context because it involved a CBP agent rather than a Federal Bureau of Narcotics agent, and the nature of the alleged misconduct was different from previous Bivens cases. Additionally, the court found that national security implications and the existence of alternative remedies, such as the CBP's internal grievance procedure, precluded the extension of a Bivens remedy.

Conclusion
