Civil litigation · May 30, 2017

Moody v. City of Newport News / Moody v. Hollandsworth

U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia; U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · 4:14-cv-00099 / 16-1814

Role in this record: Former defendant in this action; listed as defendant, not appellee, in appellate caption. Individually / individual capacity.

The complaint included excessive-force claims against four Newport News officers arising from a December 2012 traffic stop and shooting.

Documented outcome: The district opinion records a stipulated dismissal of claims against Norris on September 11, 2015. Summary judgment later favored remaining officers Hollandsworth and Gibson and was affirmed May 30, 2017; those merits rulings were not a judgment against Norris.

Do not label the stipulated dismissal a liability finding or settlement without its terms. Later proceedings have not been verified beyond the cited records.

Identity match & review date

Full first and last name plus Newport News Police Department in the court opinion match the May 2026 roster; source middle initial retained. Reviewed October 10, 2026.

Brady/Giglio status has not been established here. A lawsuit, decertification decision or third-party database entry does not by itself establish inclusion on a prosecutor’s list. List access and research gaps.
