   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1603
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Loken and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff sued 16 jail officers and employees, alleging various conditions-of-confinement claims, excessive-force claims, and claims of deliberate indifference to medical needs. With respect to plaintiff's excessive-force claims, plaintiff was a person awaiting adjudication of a probation violation and his claims would be analyzed under the Eighth Amendment, rather than the Fourteenth Amendment, which applies to pretrial detainees; considering five of the six instances where plaintiff contends officers used excessive force, in each instance, the officers were entitled to qualified immunity as the force used was not excessive or disproportionate; the sixth incident presents a genuine issue of material fact as to whether plaintiff was complying with the officers' commands when he was sprayed, and the district court did not err in denying the officer's motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity; because plaintiff's claims against six of the officers were based on their failure to intervene in the use of excessive force in the first five incidents, defendants were entitled to summary judgment on the failure-to-intervene claims; defendant Commander Heinen and two nurses were entitled to summary judgment on qualified immunity on plaintiff's deliberate-indifference-to-medical-needs claims as the defendants made repeated efforts to deal with his mental health issues; plaintiff's conditions-of-confinement claims are remanded for a thorough qualified immunity analysis; the district court did not reach the issue of official immunity on plaintiff's state law claims, and those issues are remanded to the district court; because certain claims are remanded, the court cannot resolve on appeal whether Washington County may be liable under Monell; reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.
