Federal appeals court upholds dismissal of HIV positive person's lawsuit claiming that police engaged in disability discrimination under federal and Florida state law by allegedly refusing, after he was a victim of a crime, to investigate it, and by denying him access to services after he reported the officers' alleged refusal. Under state law, the decision to make an arrest was discretionary, so that police were entitled to immunity on the state law claims for negligent investigation, supervision and retention. A state statute mandating no discrimination against HIV-infected individuals required written notice of his claim, which the plaintiff failed to provide. The plaintiff failed to adequately plead claims under either the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Albra v. City of Fort Lauderdale, No. 06-14544, 2007 U.S. App. Lexis 9376 (11th Cir.).
