U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-3866
Western District of Missouri
[PUBLISHED] Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. District court erred in granting
summary judgment to two jail officers as the evidence plaintiff produced
was sufficient to create a triable issue as to whether the officers applied
excessive force; district court did not err in granting supervisory
employees summary judgment as there was no evidence they were
deliberately indifferent, tacitly authorized any excessive force or failed
to provide adequate training or supervision. Judge Gruender, concurring.
