142985P.pdf   09/14/2015  Marc Hall  v.  Ramsey County
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2985
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Chief Judge Riley and Murphy, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - civil rights. District court's grant of summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity to staff at Detox Center and Ramsey County in civil rights action filed by involuntarily committed patient is affirmed. Excessive force claims in involuntary commitment setting apply the substantive due process's conscience-shocking standard and Hall's resistance to efforts to escort him makes the high standard inapplicable; defendants' conduct was unwise excess of zeal but did not shock the conscience. Procedural due process claim failed because placement of Hall in seclusion was not punishment. Conditions of confinement standard for pretrial detainees applies to involuntarily committed individuals. Hall failed to establish defendants were deliberately indifferent in delaying medical treatment.
