How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that the failure to intervene claims were ultimately tied to the jury’s determination of excessive force against other officer defendants.
- explaining that, for purposes of summary judgment, “[a] ‘genuine’ dispute exists when a jury can reasonably interpret the evidence in the non-movant’s favor”
- noting that “there is no deliberate indifference if [the] official responds reasonably to the risk”
- finding a material fact dispute on whether officers used excessive force when moving handcuffed detainee to holding cell
- “Allowing a plaintiff to proceed on new, unpled theories after the close of discovery would prejudice defendants, who would have focused their discovery efforts on the theories actually pled.”
- reaching both steps of the qualified immunity analysis and denying qualified immunity at summary judgment on claims that the district court decided on only the first step -- finding no constitutional violation -- without reaching the second step
