U.S. Court of Appeals decision affirming summary judgment in favor of the defendants, finding that the defendant officers were entitled to qualified immunity on the basis that their incremental and combined use of a baton, a canine, and a taser, to subdue him while transferring him from holding cell to padded cell did not violate clearly established law in light of his active resistance, and that the defendant officers’ continued use of force after the plaintiff ceased actively resisting but before he was fully secured did not the Fourth Amendment.
