• granting summary judgement on failure to intervene claim where “the only evidence tending to prove this claim is that [the defendants] were present at the scene”
• denying defendant police officers’ motion for summary judgment on plaintiff’s Fourth Amendment excessive force claim because officers apparently “smashed” plaintiff’s face into patrol car and violently threw him into patrol car while plaintiff was handcuffed
• granting summary judgment because although the plaintiff could establish officers’ presence at the scene of his arrest, he could not establish that they “witnessed the alleged abuse or had an opportunity to stop it”
• “[I]t cannot be said that Mikulec’s resulting injuries—some bleeding and abrasions—could have produced ‘death, degeneration, or extreme pain.’”
