Salmeron v. United States

WALLACE, Circuit Judge: Salmeron filed this action based upon tort and violation of his civil and constitutional rights, claiming that government agents wrongfully deprived him of his children. The district court granted summary judgment, holding that Salmeron's claims were barred by a release he signed in settling an earlier action. Salmeron appealed, and we reverse and remand because we find genuine issue of material fact as to whether the release was voluntarily signed, supported by consideration, and binding on the children.
