   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3332
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Wollman and Bright, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. District court erred in granting arresting
   officers' motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity as
   there were genuine issues of material fact as to whether the amount of
   force used in restraining and detaining plaintiff was excessive, whether
   he resisted arrest and whether his injuries were more than de minimis;
   plaintiff's right to be free from an excessive force during arrest was a
   clearly established right under the Fourth Amendment; officers' actions
   in taking plaintiff to a hospital for examination and observation were not
   objectively unreasonable in light of plaintiff's behavior, and the officers
   were entitled to summary judgment on that claim.
