U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-1660
District of South Dakota
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. Law enforcement officers were entitled to
qualified immunity in excessive force claim, as amount of force used to
stop vehicle and remove driver from automobile was objectively
reasonable under totality of circumstances. District court's refusal to stay
ruling pending discovery was not an abuse of discretion and award of
costs was not an abuse of discretion.
