   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1157
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Melloy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Where plaintiff's decedent died from cardiac 
   arrest during his arrest by the defendant police officers, defendant 
   officer Smith was entitled to qualified immunity as his actions in hitting 
   and kicking the decedent was not an obvious violation of the man's rights; 
   as the encounter continued, officers reasonably used kicks, punches, knee 
   strikes and tasers to subdue the man and plaintiff has failed to cite any 
   case law clearly establishing these actions were unconstitutional at the 
   time of the incident; the district court did not err in dismissing 
   plaintiff's wrongful death claim under Minnesota law as plaintiff failed 
   to sow that the officers intentionally apprehended her decedent in a way 
   they believed was prohibited by law.
