Underwood v. Barrett
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided May 17, 2019No. 16-1725PPublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Per curiam
When plaintiff refused to exit a prison recreation cage to be brought to a new cell, prison officials used oleoresin capsicum ("pepper spray"), physical force, and handcuffs to secure his compliance with the officials' orders. Plaintiff subsequently brought this lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 , alleging the use of excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The prison officials eventually moved for summary judgment, contending that, at the very least, they were entitled to qualified immunity. See Gray v. Cummings , 917 F.3d 1 , 10 (1st Cir. 2019)…
