143606P.pdf   12/23/2015  Stuart Wright  v.  Sean Franklin
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3606
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case -Bivens action. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see Wright v. United States, 545 Fed.Appx 588 (8th Cir. 2013). The district court erred in denying the U.S. Marshals Service's motion for qualified immunity on plaintiff's excessive force claim because it was not firmly established in April 2009 that the use of a Tazer against a suspected armed and dangerous felon violated the Fourth Amendment; plaintiff's twenty-minute detention was not an unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment, and the Marshals were entitled to summary judgment on plaintiff's claim for unreasonable seizure.
