United States Ninth Circuit

In a California state prisoner's section 1983 action alleging that he was transferred to administrative segregation in retaliation for reporting that a corrections officer used excessive force against him, the district court’s summary judgment in favor of a California corrections lieutenant is reversed where plaintiff established a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the officer retaliated against him.
