   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3601
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In suit alleging an Arkansas State Trooper used 
   excessive force in securing plaintiff's arrest after a high-speed chase, 
   the district court did not err in finding the claim against the Arkansas 
   State Police was barred by Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity; 
   plaintiff had no cognizable claim for prospective injunctive relief 
   against the trooper in his official capacity, and that claim was also 
   barred by sovereign immunity; however, the district court erred in 
   granting the trooper summary judgment based on qualified immunity on 
   plaintiff's claims against him in his individual capacity as there were 
   genuine issues of material fact regarding the trooper's actions which, if 
   true, preclude a grant of qualified immunity; district court did not err 
   in denying plaintiff's untimely motion to amend his complaint.
