Galvez v. Bruce
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided December 18, 2008No. 08-10531PublishedCited by 61 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
COX, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff Adolfo Galvez appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Defendant Henry Bruce, a Hillsborough County Sheriffs Deputy. Galvez sued Bruce pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that Bruce used excessive force while putting Galvez under arrest, in violation of Galvez’s Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The district court found that Bruce is entitled to qualified immunity. Because we find that, under Galvez’s version of the facts, Bruce is not entitled to qualified immunity, we vacate the summary judgment and remand to the district court.
