DECISION AND ORDER
LYNN ADELMAN, District Judge
Matthew Pekrun alleges that Theodore Puente, an officer with the Milwaukee Police Department, used excessive force against him during an arrest, in violation of the Fourth Amendment. He brings this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Puente and the City of Milwaukee. Before me now is the defendants’ motion for summary judgment on Pekrun’s claim against Puente in his individual capacity. The defendants contend that Puente did not violate Pekrun’s Fourth Amendment rights and that, even if he did, he is entitled to qualified immunity.
