U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2395
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. In September, 2006, when defendant tasered
plaintiff, a reasonable police officer could have believed that as long as
he did not cause more than de minimis injury to an arrestee, his actions
would not violate the Fourth Amendment; plaintiff had not set forth
sufficient evidence to show defendant's application of a Taser caused
more than de minimis injury, and the officer was entitled to qualified
immunity because he did not violate plaintiff's then clearly established
constitutional rights.
