U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1730
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. District court did not err in granting summary
judgment to prison official on the grounds of qualified immunity for
spraying pepper spray after inmate refused to follow orders, threw items
at officer and spit on him. Claim that officer was deliberately
indifferent by directing other officer to shut off the water to prevent
Burns from washing off the pepper spray was properly denied because Burns
did not show a serious medical need. Claims against White were properly
dismissed for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
