Francisco Reyes filed a lawsuit against the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department after he was wrongly arrested for rape in Colorado in 2006. His lawsuit claims that his civil rights were violated.

He was arrested on charges of raping a baby in Sedgwick County in 1991. Reyes had never been in Sedgwick County.

The judge's ruling said that there was not enough evidence to support the civil rights claims.

Sedgwick County attorneys said they are not surprised by the court's decision and said the Sheriff has immunity.

Reyes is planning to file an appeal in the next week.
