United States Eighth Circuit

Summary judgment for defendants in a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action brought by an inmate is affirmed where no reasonable jury could find that defendants used excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment, there was no evidence that medical personnel deliberately disregarded defendant's medical needs, and plaintiff's failure-to-protect, due process, retaliation, and denial-of-access claims failed for insufficient evidence.
