identity and this is a matter of investigators why isn't that pretty significant because if there's if there's an unknown identity all that conditional privilege can apply if there's a known identity it could well there's not really there was the what the fits with the description in the wanted right that's well and here if it names the wrong person but it names them there's no question that the person picked up matches the warrant he does that's right  recall explain that was limited to those facts but doesn't say it's not limited to the no it doesn't say body but we if we read it with the fact that there is this conditional privilege notion i just don't see how via gets you very far if i may a the morning your honor may please the court my name is schwarz representing the united states in this case this court is correct that if i had to oppose any additional investigative burdens on officers executing a valid arrest warrant discretionary for any objection discretionary function exception applies has been doubly ways first because the order applying that to bar the negligent investigation claimed was not properly a pm it's not listed in the notice of to bar claims of negligent investigation meaning anything that happened prior to the initiation of the indictment and the issuance of the arrest warrant so any claim that the f b i agents should have done something more or position you're taking so i point out the district court did as i think they tried to give the plaintiffs the benefit of a doubt because the client he claims weren't really named very clearly so they said ok you know anything construed as claims for false arrest and imprisonment and malicious prosecution to move forward to see if there was any genuine issue of material fact that could possibly make a claim survive and what ended up happening is the tests could not make that sort of claim like i guess i'm just trying to figure out if you're trying to say that all pre arrest investigatory action is covered by the discretionary function of that with the notion that you can bring a malicious function you know but that's what just i mean maybe maybe but what worries me is if you're asking us to decide all three investigative issues here are within the discretionary functions we don't really have it seems like a potentially large what we know is that the two things that are required for a malicious prosecution claim are malice and the absence of probable cause so i may be correct this prosecution can only be measured after the fact after the initiation of an indictment or an arrest warrant or something where there should have been a demonstration of probable cause otherwise how would you show the investigation but there's a failure in transcribing the name on to the arrest warrant and they write the wrong name or just that one for your honor i believe that that would and the claim would be false arrest claim  argument if you have that person's conduct could make the united states responsible what's the difference between that and something that happens before that that results in the wrong name going i think the difference has to lie and sort of the policy behind these and the reason that there is a discretionary function and the reason that this court and others have found that investigative actions fall within that discretionary function exception is because we don't want the federal agencies hamstrung in terms of oh and am i going to be subject to personal liability or am i going to expose the united states to liability because i didn't do every possible thing that i can think of to finish investigating this before i thought and arrest the people who are responsible the people who are best situated to decide where that line is are the people executing do we really have that issue before us though because i thought the district court said it was uncertain as to when certain facts were not in just a matter of timing about when the photograph said throughout the plaintiff's briefing is that certain facts are undisputed and i would like to clarify that it's not that they're undisputed it's that we don't conditional privilege is the value case but this device a case is facts don't address whether conditional privilege gives way in such circumstances without even getting to what the scope of the discretionary function is is we could just say as a matter puerto rico law nothing's been identified to us that indicates that the conditional privilege wouldn't continue to put apply in a case like this right john and that is an additional basis argued in our brief and not only does questions that are raised if you start looking behind the arrest warrant and the name given in the arrest warrant are obviously different than the sort of questions that are various if you just look at to make sure that the general description in the arrest warrant was followed right so given that it's a seems a stretch to read to say that well regardless of the fact that there's a totally different policy set of
