How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • granting summary judgment dismissing excessive force claim where officer “grabbed [plaintiffs] arm, spun him around, released his arm[,] ... forcefully grabbed his shoulders[,] ... pushed [him] into a stove” and applied handcuffs too tightly
  • dismissing excessive force claim on summary judgment despite disputed issue as to amount of force used because officer’s actions constituted de minimis use of force and there was no evidence arrestee suffered physical injury
  • granting summary judgment to defendant officer who grabbed arrestee’s arm, spun him around, and pushed him into a stove to frisk and handcuff him because amount of force was reasonable
  • assertions about arresting officer’s conduct — that officer “violently grabbed [plaintiffs] arm, spun him around, released his arm and forcefully grabbed his shoulders” — “coupled with the absence of any injuries therefrom,” are insufficient to withstand summary judgment
  • plaintiff testified he was cooperative
