   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1656
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Bivens action. The number of agents used in a raid was 
   reasonable and their possession of weapons was required by agency policies 
   governing the execution of search warrants and was. therefore, legally 
   reasonable; nor did the court err in granting the defendant agents summary 
   judgment on plaintiff's claim that the agents unlawfully seized certain 
   property as a reasonable agent could believe the disputed items were 
   covered by the warrant; detention of employees in a break room while the 
   agents conducted the search was justified by governmental interests and 
   was not particularly intrusive; the length of detention was reasonable 
   given the time it took to complete the search of plaintiff's facility; 
   there was no evidence showing that the interrogations at issue prolonged 
   the employees' detention beyond a reasonable time; the agents' actions in 
   denying the employees access to phones or seizing the phones was entitled 
   to qualified immunity as the court is unaware of any cases invalidating a 
   seizure of detainees' cell phones during the execution of a warrant; while 
   there is evidence that unidentified federal agents pushed two of the 
   employees and pointed a gun at a third, there was no evidence the two 
   named defendants participated in, ordered or condoned the alleged use of 
   excessive force, and they were entitled to summary judgment on the claims.
