File a Section 1983 claim. At least it’ll annoy him and end up on his record that he had a claim filed, even if you don’t survive summary judgment.
But I think you would survive summary judgment since you are the witness, and if he did what you say he is liable, so it would need to go to a jury.
I am sure relaxation must have many questions about this advice but since he or she probably was too busy to post them, I’ll try and help:
1. What is “section 1983?” And section 1983 of what, by the way?
2. What is a “section 1983 claim?”
3. Where do you file a “section 1983 claim?
4. How do you file a “section 1983 claim?”
5. Is there a fee to file such a “claim?”
6. What is “summary judgment?”
7. What does “if you don’t survive summary judgment” mean? Seems quite scary. Is this anything like “if you don’t survive cancer?”
