United States Fourth Circuit

In a civil rights suit against a West Virginia State Trooper alleging that defendant used excessive force in effectuating the arrest of plaintiff, in violation of state and federal law, the district court’s denial of defendant's motion for summary judgment based upon that court's holding that defendant was not, as a matter of law, entitled to qualified immunity, is reversed where defendant was entitled to qualified immunity for all claims as a matter of law.
