U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-3613
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. In this excessive force suit, the district
court did not err in granting the defendant officers' motion for summary
judgment based on qualified immunity on plaintiff's Fourth Amendment
claims; on the information available to them, the officers had probable
cause to arrest defendant for domestic assault and were entitled to
qualified immunity on plaintiff's unlawful-arrest claim; the force used to
effect plaintiff's arrest did not violate his Fourth Amendment rights as
it was objectively reasonable. Judge Kelly, concurring in part and
dissenting in part.
