United States Tenth Circuit

In an inmate's civil rights suit under 28 U.S.C. section 1983 against correctional officials claiming injuries due to excessive force, denial of summary judgment for the statewide director of a state's prisons is reversed where the undisputed record showed that defendant did not violate clearly established law under a theory of supervisory liability.
