173385P.pdf   06/27/2019  Clay Thomas  v.  Scott Eschen
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3385
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Loken and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. In a Section 1983 action by an Iowa 
   state prisoner claiming prison officials violated his Eighth and 
   Fourteenth Amendment rights when they had him civilly committed and 
   forcibly medicated, his wrongful commitment claim is not cognizable under 
   Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994); prisoner's forced-medication claim 
   lacks evidentiary support, and the district court did not err in granting 
   summary judgment for the defendants.
