   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2046
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Shepherd and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In this excessive force case, the district 
   court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence of certain of 
   defendant's prior convictions; admission of a prior murder conviction was 
   also properly admitted as substantive evidence relevant to the officers' 
   use of force in plaintiff's arrest; the district court did not err in 
   denying plaintiff's motion for a judgment of matter of law concerning the 
   officers' third application of a taser; given the evidence in the case, 
   this court could not say no reasonable juror could have concluded the 
   application of the taser was an objectively reasonable approach to 
   ensuring that plaintiff was incapacitated and incapable of harming the 
   officers.
