173821P.pdf   02/08/2019  Cheri Marie Hanson  v.  Daniel Best
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3821
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Colloton and Stras, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Under the applicable Supreme Court and Eighth Circuit precedents there is not a clearly established right against the use of prone restraints for a suspect who has been resisting police, and the police officers were entitled to qualified immunity on plaintiff's claim that they used excessive force on her decedent; where medical professionals at the scene never even suggested that emergency medical treatment was needed, there is insufficient evidence that decedent's need for medical treatment was so obvious that the police officers exhibited deliberate indifference by taking him to jail; further, by calling the paramedics to the scene, the officers did not deliberately disregard the man's medical needs. The district court erred in denying the officers' motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity, and the matter is remanded for further proceedings.
