U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1854
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith
[PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. The district court erred in denying the
defendant officers' motion for summary judgment based on qualified
immunity as their use of force, including a taser and their body weight,
was reasonable where the plaintiff's decedent was combative and resistant
to the officers' efforts to remove him from a cell.
