Kenneth Howard v. Wayne County Sheriff's Office, et al

Filing

OPINION filed : Because we conclude that the plaintiff established sufficient evidence to raise a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether defendants Wood and Hardie used, or permitted the use of, excessive force in his arrest, we find it necessary to REVERSE the judgment of the district court on the claim of excessive force and REMAND the case for further proceedings on that claim. In all other respects, the district court s judgment is AFFIRMED, decision not for publication pursuant to local rule 28(g), : Martha Craig Daughtrey, AUTHORING Circuit Judge; Eric L. Clay, Circuit Judge and Helene N. White, (concurring) Circuit Judge.
