How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that excessive force claims under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in the non-seizure, non-prisoner context survives Graham
  • noting that plaintiff spent a total of three days in administrative confinement
  • reversing denial of summary judgment where plaintiff had no clearly established First Amendment right to speak to officer
  • “Where . . . doubt may exist as to whether an official is sued personally, in his official capacity or in both capacities, the course of proceedings ordinarily resolves the nature of the liability sought to be imposed.”
  • though the right of an individual not to be subjected to excessive force was “ ‘clearly established’ in the conventional sense,” at the time of the events at issue there, that right was not clearly established in the context of the actions giving rise to the suit
