United States Eleventh Circuit

In civil rights action alleging detention officers used excessive force in spraying plaintiff with pepper spray then denying him medical treatment while he was a pretrial detainee, summary denials of motions to dismiss complaint are vacated as the one-sentence denials are devoid of any facts and any legal analysis and, thus, wholly fail to provide the court of appeals with an opportunity to conduct meaningful appellate review.
