MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
I.
Nature of Motion
23
This is a pro se prisoner civil rights action brought by Michael Glass (Glass)
24
asserting claims under 42 U.S.C. §1983. Pursuant to this Court’s Screening Order, Glass
25
was allowed to proceed on one (1) Eighth Amendment use of force claim against
26
Defendant Featherly (Featherly). ECF No. 4 at 5:13-14. Glass filed his First Amended
27
Civil Rights Complaint (FAC) on May 3, 2023. ECF No. 27. The FAC added a Fourteenth
28
Amendment due process claim against Defendants Stolk and Mauro. ECF No. 27 at 5.
Page 1
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 2 of 16

The FAC also adds an Eighth Amendment failure to protect claim against Defendant
2
Featherly. ECF No. 27 at 6. The FAC was not screened.
3
4
Glass sues for events that took place while incarcerated at Ely State Prison (ESP).
ECF No. 27 at 1. The FAC does not include any claim for relief. Id.
5
Glass’ allegations do not rise to the level of constitutional violations. Therefore,
6
Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

Statement of Facts Pursuant to Local Rule 56-1
18
A.
19
On or about January 4, 2022, an inmate-on-inmate assault occurred in Unit 6, A
20
The Incident
wing at ESP. Exhibit A at 1; Exhibit C at 1.
21
Glass’ cellmate had permission to leave the cell to take a shower. 1 Id. at 8.
22
Defendant Featherly opened the cell door, and Glass got “in-between the door to
23
prevent it from closing all the way.” Id.; Exhibit B at 12:51:43. Glass exited his cell
24
without permission. Id.
25
26
As the battery commenced on his cellmate, Glass ran across the upper level of the
tier. Ex. B at 12:52:10.
27
28
Featherly notes in an April 25, 2022 amendment to the Unit Senior Officer report that
his initial report misidentified Glass and his cellmate. The actions of the redacted inmate
are actually Glass. Ex. A at 9.

22
IV.
Argument
23
A.
24
Summary judgment allows courts to avoid unnecessary trials when there is no
Summary Judgment Standard
25
dispute as to the facts before the court. Northwest Motorcycle Ass'n v. United States Dep't
26
of Agric., 18 F .3d 1468, 1472 (9th Cir. 1994). The purpose of summary judgment is to
27
isolate and then terminate claims that are factually unsupported. Celotex Corp. v.
28
Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24 (1986). A moving party is not required to disprove the non-
Page 4
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 5 of 16
1
moving party’s claims. Id. Instead the moving party is simply required to point out the
2
absence of evidence supporting the non-moving party’s claims. Id. The non-moving party
3
is then required to come forward with some evidence supporting his claim. Anderson v.
4
Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255 (1986). Mere allegations or denials in the pleadings
5
are not sufficient to show a genuine issue for trial. Id. at 248. “Where the only evidence
6
presented is ‘uncorroborated and self-serving’ testimony” a genuine issue of fact cannot be
7
established. Villiarimo v. Aloha Island Air, Inc., 281 F.3d 1054, 1061 (9th Cir. 2002).
8
“No valid interest is served by withholding summary judgment on a complaint that wraps
9
nonactionable conduct in a jacket woven of legal conclusions and hyperbole.” Vigliotto v.
10
Terry, 873 F.2d 1201, 1203 (9th Cir. 1989). “When opposing parties tell two different
11
stories, one of which is blatantly contradicted by the record, so that no reasonable jury
12
could believe it, a court should not adopt that version of the facts for purposes of ruling on
13
a motion for summary judgment.” Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 380, 127 S.Ct. 1769,
14
1776 (2007).
15
Material facts are facts that might affect the outcome of the case. Anderson, 477
16
U.S. at 248. The court should not consider disputes concerning irrelevant or unnecessary
17
facts. Id. Where there is a complete failure of proof on an essential element of the case
18
for the non-moving party, all other facts become immaterial and the moving party is
19
entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Celotex, supra.
20
Although inmate non-moving parties may still be entitled to have the facts
21
reviewed “in a light most favorable” this favorable review is tempered, “in light of the
22
deference that courts must show to [the] prison officials.” Beard v. Banks, 548 U.S. 521,
23
126 S.Ct. 2572, 2578 (2006). See also, Overton v. Bazzetta, 539 U.S. 126, 132, 123 S. Ct.
24
2162, 2167, 156 L. Ed. 2d 162 (2003) (“We must accord substantial deference to the
25
professional judgment of prison administrators, who bear a significant responsibility for
26
defining the legitimate goals of a corrections system and for determining the most
27
appropriate means to accomplish them.”)

An inmate claiming to have been the victim of excessive force that violated his
Eighth Amendment Use of Force
3
Eighth Amendment right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment bears the burden of
4
showing both an objective and subjective component. “Thus, courts considering a
5
prisoner’s claim must ask both if ‘the officials acted with a sufficiently culpable state of
6
mind’ and if the alleged wrongdoing was objectively ‘harmful enough’ to establish a
7
constitutional violation.” Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1, 8 (1992).
8

10
11
12
13
14
The Court in Hudson stated:
[W]henever prison officials stand accused of using excessive
physical force in violation of the Cruel and Unusual
Punishments Clause, the core of judicial inquiry is that set out
in Whitley [v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312 (1986)]: whether force was
applied in a good-faith effort to maintain or restore discipline, or
maliciously and sadistically to cause harm.
Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1, 7 (1992).
Excessive force claims by inmates are properly analyzed under the Eighth and not
15
the Fourteenth Amendment. Whitley v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312, 328 (1986). The burden that
16
the plaintiff must meet is not an easy one, because, “[a]fter incarceration, only ‘the
17
unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain’ constitutes cruel and unusual punishment
18
forbidden by the Eighth Amendment.” Id. at 319. The standard that must be met “is
19
obduracy and wantonness, not inadvertence or error in good faith . . ..” Id.
20
Consequently, “whether the measure taken inflicted unnecessary and wanton pain
21
and suffering ultimately turns on ‘whether force was applied in a good faith effort to
22
maintain or restore discipline or maliciously and sadistically for the very purpose of
23
causing harm.’” Whitley at 320-321. The factors to be considered in determining whether
24
force was applied in good faith include the need for the application of force, the
25
relationship between the need and the amount of force used, and the extent of the injury
26
inflicted. Id. at 321. Equally important factors in determining whether there was a
27
wanton infliction of pain are the extent of the threat to the safety of staff and inmates as
28
reasonably perceived by the responsible officials on the basis of the facts known to them
Page 6
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 7 of 16
1
and any efforts made to temper the severity of a forceful response. Id. If force is applied
2
in a good faith effort to maintain or restore discipline, then there is no cruel and unusual
3
punishment. Id.

Finally, the Court in Whitley stated:
When the “ever-present potential for violent confrontation and
conflagration,” (citation omitted), ripens into actual unrest and
conflict, the admonition that “a prison’s internal security is
peculiarly a matter normally left to the discretion of prison
administrators”, (citation omitted), carries special weight.
“Prison administrators . . . should be accorded wide-ranging
deference in the adoption and execution of policies and practices
that in their judgment are needed to preserve internal order and
discipline and maintain institutional security” (citations
omitted). That deference extends to a prison security measure
taken in response to an actual confrontation with riotous inmate,
just as it does to prophylactic or preventive measures intended
to reduce the incidence of these or any other breaches of prison
discipline. It does not insulate from review actions taken in bad
faith and for no legitimate purpose, but it requires that neither
judge nor jury freely substitute their judgment for that of
officials who have made a considered choice. Accordingly, in
ruling on a motion for a directed verdict in a case such as this,
courts must determine whether the evidence goes beyond a mere
dispute over the reasonableness of a particular use of force or the
existence of arguably superior alternatives. Unless it appears that
the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff,
will support a reliable inference of wantonness in the infliction of
pain under the standard we have described, the case should not
go to the jury.
Whitley v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312, 321-322 (1986). (Emphasis added.)
The NDOC has addressed uses of force in its Administrative Regulation (AR) 405.
21
Exhibit G. The general provisions for use of force “define[s] staff responsibilities and
22
limitations concerning the use of force while still allowing discretion in the appropriate
23
application of force.” Ex. G, 405.01. The NDOC authorizes force “to subdue an attacker,
24
overcome resistance, affect custody, or to gain compliance with a lawful order.” Id. All
25
staff are trained in applications of force and appropriate use of authorized equipment. Id.
26
at 405.02. Training includes de-escalation and Continuum of Force. Id.
27
28
AR 405 guides when force may be used. Ex. G, 405.03. “A staff member may use
force to protect himself or any other individual from physical harm by an inmate.” Id. at
Page 7
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 8 of 16
1
405.03(1). “To compel an inmate's compliance with orders, force may be used if no
2
alternative method of persuasion is effective or where the circumstances require
3
urgency.” Id. at 405.03(6). “To prevent of quell a disturbance, disperse or apprehend
4
inmates whose conduct is creating a risk of death or serious physical injury to others.” Id.
5
at 405.03(7). “Less-Lethal Projectile Launchers (40mm) are authorized to compel
6
compliance from noncompliant inmates.” Id. at 405.05(2)(E).
7
Glass alleges Defendant Featherly “shot me in the back of the head at close range
8
using a rubber round.” FAC, p. 2. And the round “split my head open.” Id. However, the
9
video of the incident shows Glass squeezing out of his cell as the cell door closes. Ex. B.
10
Glass runs across the tier and down the stairs to engage the attacker. Id. Glass
11
repeatedly ignores Defendant Featherly’s commands to get down on the floor. Id. Glass is
12
shot in the groin area with a rubber round, but he continues to ignore Defendant
13
Featherly’s orders. Id. Defendant Featherly continues to use the 40mm launcher to
14
attempt to gain compliance and restore order and discipline to the tier. Id. He aims and
15
misses. Ex. A, p 8. Glass continues to ignore orders, causing Featherly to launch another
16
round, which Glass moves in front of, being struck in the head. Id. Once all the inmates
17
have complied and gotten down on the ground, Defendant Featherly stopped firing
18
rounds. Ex. B.
19
Glass received medical care, first being examined by NDOC medical staff. Ex. A, 1-
20
2. He was noted to have a laceration on the side of his head and an abrasion in his groin
21
area. Id. Although Glass was sent to the local emergency room, his injuries were not life
22
threatening. Id.
23
The video in this matter is illustrative, showing less than 7 minutes from the time
24
Glass squeezed out of his cell, through the inmate-on-inmate assault with prison-made
25
weapons, until order was restored, ending the need for force. Ex. B. The need for the
26
application of force was apparent, with an inmate-on-inmate assault taking place with
27
the use of deadly weapons. Whitley, supra at 321. No force would have been needed
28
against Glass if he had stayed in his cell and if he had followed orders. The assault that
Page 8
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 9 of 16
1
was taking place on the tier involved the use of deadly weapons, and under AR 405,
2
deadly force would have been available to match the force. Ex. G, 405.06. But Defendant
3
Featherly was able to use a lower level of force, non-lethal force, to gain control over the
4
fighting inmates and restore order and discipline. Ex. B. The extent of the injury inflicted
5
on Glass was a laceration and an abrasion. The abrasion came earlier in the incident, and
6
was not enough to make Glass comply. The more serious laceration to Glass’ scalp was
7
caused by a round not intended for Glass; Glass ran into the line of fire. Ex. A, p. 8. The
8
extent of the threat to the safety of staff and inmates was evident in the injuries to the
9
other inmates including stab wounds and difficulty breathing. Ex. A, pp. 1-2; Ex. B. The
10
efforts made to temper the severity of a forceful response are also shown in the video,
11
with measured verbal commands followed by firing a limited number of less-lethal
12
rounds. As soon as the inmates complied with order, the use of force concluded. Ex. B.
13
Each of the Whitley factors shows the use of force was applied in a good faith effort to
14
maintain or restore discipline. Glass cannot show any malicious or sadistic conduct on
15
behalf of Defendant Featherly, or direct intent to cause him harm. At best, the record
16
shows inadvertence or error, which does not support a claim of cruel and unusual
17
punishment. The Court should grant summary judgment on the use of force allegation.
18
C.
19
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states in relevant
20
part no state may “deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of
21
law.” “There is no question that an inmate's interest in the funds in his prison account is
22
a protected property interest.” Scott v. Angelone, 771 F. Supp. 1064, 1067 (D. Nev. 1991),
23
aff'd, 980 F.2d 738 (9th Cir. 1992). What process is due is a question of law suitable for
24
decision by the Court on summary judgment. Id. Notice that an action will take place
25
pursuant to a regulation or statute is sufficient to fulfill due process. Id. Moreover, the
26
Nevada Department of Corrections’ (NDOC) accounting inquiry and inmate grievance
27
procedures provide adequate postdeprivation due process. Id. at 1068.

Fourteenth Amendment Due Process

Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 10 of 16
1
The Director of the NDOC is required to “establish by regulation criteria for a
2
reasonable deduction from money credited to the account of an offender to ...[r]epay the
3
cost of medical examination, diagnosis or treatment for injuries: (1) [i]nflicted by the
4
offender upon himself or herself or other offenders.” NRS 209.246(1)(b). NDOC
5
Administrative Regulation (AR) 245 addresses inmate medical charges. Exhibit H.
6
“Inmates will be charged for the cost for medical examination, diagnosis, or treatment for
7
injuries which result from altercations, recreational injuries, or self-inflicted injuries.” Id.
8
at 3:245.02(1). Charges include those for services within the NDOC, and for outside
9
services including ambulance, hospitalization, and surgery. Id. The NDOC also has an
10
Operational Procedure (OP) for Support Services addressing Inmate Health Care
11
Charges, SS-0041. Exhibit I. “Inmates will be charged 100% of the examination, diagnosis
12
or treatment for injuries, which result from altercations and recreational or self-inflicted
13
injuries.” Id. at 8:V. Section V includes details of charges and the grievance process. Id.
14
The combination of NRS 209.246, AR 245, and OP SS-0041 gives clear notice that
15
medical charges will be paid by inmates involved in altercations, an adequate
16
predeprivation protection. See Angelone, supra. Glass was able to use the Accounting
17
Inquiry process, Ex. E, and the grievance process. ECF No. 27 at 5, so in addition to the
18
predeprivation notice, he received adequate postdeprivation due process. Id. This Court
19
can find due process was provided as a matter of law.
20
Glass alleges he was assessed restitution of $23,815.74 improperly by Defendant
21
Stolk, who was the hearing officer when Glass pleaded guilty to Disobedience related to
22
the incident. ECF No. 27 at 5; Ex. D. Additionally, he alleges Defendant Mauro refused to
23
reverse the restitution or give any money back. Id. These allegations have no impact on
24
the question of law before the Court.
25
Additionally, as Defendant Stolk did not order the restitution, he was not
26
personally involved and should be dismissed from the instant case. See May v. Enomoto,
27
633 F.2d 164, 167 (9th Cir. 1980). Similarly, Defendant Mauro did not order the
28
//
Page 10
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 11 of 16
1
restitution, and simply affirmed the restitution was ordered pursuant to statute,
2
regulation, and procedures. Defendant Mauro should be dismissed as well. Id.
3
D.
4
Under the Eighth Amendment, prison conditions should not “involve the wanton
5
and unnecessary infliction of pain” or be “grossly disproportionate to the severity of the
6
crime warranting imprisonment.” Rhodes v. Chapman, 452 U.S. 337, 347 (1981).
7
Although prison conditions may be, and often are, restrictive and harsh, prison officials
8
“must ensure that inmates receive adequate food, clothing, shelter, and medical care, and
9
must ‘take reasonable measures to guarantee the safety of the inmates.’” Farmer v.
10
Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 832 (1994) (quoting Hudson v. Palmer, 486 U.S. 517, 526-27
11
(1984)).
Eighth Amendment Failure to Protect
12
The Eighth Amendment imposes a duty on prison officials to protect inmates from
13
violence by other inmates. Hearns v. Terhune, 413 F.3d 1036, 1040 (9th Cir. 2005). “The
14
failure of prison officials to protect inmates from attacks by other inmates may rise to the
15
level of an Eighth Amendment violation when: (1) the deprivation alleged is ‘objectively,
16
sufficiently serious’ and (2) the prison officials had a ‘sufficiently culpable state of mind,’
17
acting with deliberate indifference.” Id., quoting Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834
18
(1994).
19
To establish a violation of this duty, the prisoner must establish that prison
20
officials were “deliberately indifferent” to serious threats to the inmate’s safety. Farmer,
21
511 U.S. at 834; see also Labatad v. Corrections Corp. of America, 714 F.3d 1155, 1160
22
(9th Cir. 2013) (citing Gibson v. County of Washoe, 290 F.3d 1175, 1187 (9th Cir. 2002)).
23
Under the deliberate indifference standard, a violation of the Eighth Amendment is only
24
found when an objective and subjective component are met. See Farmer, 511 U.S. at 834;
25
Labatad, 714F.3d at 1160.
26
First, the deprivation must be, objectively, sufficiently serious. Id. When a plaintiff
27
claims prison officials failed to take reasonable steps to protect, the plaintiff must show
28
that “he is incarcerated under conditions posing a substantial risk of serious harm.” Id.
Page 11
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 12 of 16
1
Second, the inmate must satisfy the subjective element. This means that the prison
2
official must “know of and disregard an excessive risk to inmate health or safety; the
3
official must both be aware of facts from which the inference could be drawn that a
4
substantial risk of serious harm exists, and he must also draw the inference.” Id. at 837.
5
“Mere negligence is not sufficient to establish liability.” Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124,
6
1128 (9th Cir. 1998). “Liability may only follow if a prison official ‘knows that inmates
7
face a substantial risk of serious harm and disregard that risk by failing to take
8
reasonable measures to abate it.’” Labatad v. Corrections Corp. of America, 714 F.3d
9
1155, 1160 (9th Cir. 2013) (citing Gibson v. County of Washoe, 290 F.3d 1175, 1187 (9th
10
Cir. 2002)).
11
Here, Glass alleges Defendant Featherly “opened two documented enemies [sic]
12
doors at the same time.” ECF No. 27 at 6. Glass further alleges Featherly opened his cell
13
door “while a rival gang/race was on the tier.” Id. But Glass cannot show he was at
14
substantial risk of serious harm. Glass’ classification records do not include that he had
15
any enemies at ESP. See Ex. F. And while Glass had been given notice on November 30,
16
2021, that he was being investigated for STG affiliation, he had not been validated. See
17
Exhibit J. Glass cannot show that Defendant Featherly knew, or could have known, Glass
18
had an enemy in the housing unit, or that Glass considered himself to be a gang member
19
with rivals in the housing unit. See ECF NO. 27 at 6. Moreover, Defendant Featherly
20
could not have known that when he opened the cell door for Glass’ cellmate to come out
21
for a shower, that Glass would exit the cell without permission, choosing to leave the
22
safety of his cell, exposing himself to danger, and participating in an altercation. See Ex.

Qualified Immunity
The Defendants were, at all relevant times, government officials performing
26
discretionary functions. As such, they are shielded from liability for civil damages here
27
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, because there is nothing on the face of the Complaint to
28
suggest that they violated clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a
Page 12
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 13 of 16
1
reasonable person would have known. Anderson v. Creighton, 483 U.S. 635, 638-9, 107 S.
2
Ct. 3034, 3038 (1987); Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818, 102 S. Ct. 2727, 2738
3
(1982); Way v. County of Ventura, 445 F.3d 1157, 1159 (9th Cir. 2006). The doctrine of
4
qualified immunity protects “all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly
5
violate the law.” Anderson v. Creighton, supra, at 638.
6
The doctrine of qualified immunity is immunity from suit rather than a mere
7
defense to liability and is effectively lost if a case is erroneously permitted to go to trial.
8
Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 526 (1985). The defense of qualified immunity protects
9
"government officials performing discretionary functions . . . from liability for civil
10
damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or
11
constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known." Harlow v.
12
Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818 (1982). Therefore, regardless of whether a constitutional
13
violation occurred, the Defendants should prevail if the right asserted by the Plaintiff was
14
not "clearly established" or the Defendants could have reasonably believed that their
15
particular conduct was lawful. Romero v. Kitsap County, 931 F.2d 624 (9th Cir. 1991).
16
The Plaintiff bears the burden of proof that the right allegedly violated was clearly
17
established at the time of the alleged misconduct. Baker v. Racanscy, 887 F.2d 183, 186
18
(9th Cir. 1989). Only if Plaintiff carries this burden are the Defendants required to show
19
that their conduct was reasonable even though it might have violated constitutional
20
standards. Benigni v. City of Hemut, 879 F.2d 473, 479-480 (9th Cir. 1988).
21
The relevant inquiry then would be an objective fact-specific test. The test is
22
"whether a reasonable government official could have believed that his conduct was
23
lawful, in light of clearly established law and the information he possessed. Thorsted v.
24
Kelly, 858 F.2d 571, 573 (9th Cir. 1988). A reasonable but mistaken belief one's actions
25
are lawful, based on facts or legal authority, entitles a defendant to qualified good faith
26
immunity from damages. Floyd v. Laws, 929 F.2d 1390 (9th Cir. 1991). As noted by the
27
United States Supreme Court in Malley v. Briggs, 475 U.S. 335, 341 (1986), "as the
28
//
Page 13
Case 3:22-cv-00280-CLB Document 45 Filed 01/10/24 Page 14 of 16
1
qualified immunity defense has evolved, it provides ample protection to all but the plainly
2
incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law."
3
Defendant Featherly is entitled to qualified immunity on both of the Eighth
4
Amendment claims in the instant case. Featherly’s actions complied with AR 405 Use of
5
Force and the record shows Glass identified no threats by enemies or gang affiliation to
6
the NDOC staff which should have put Featherly on notice he needed protection.
7
V.
Conclusion
8
Defendants are entitled to summary judgment in their favor as Glass cannot
9
support his claims of Eighth Amendment excessive use of force or failure to protect. Glass
10
received due process through notice by statute and regulation, and through adequate
11
postdeprivation procedures, and the Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of
12
law on the Fourteenth Amendment claim. Defendants are also entitled to qualified
13
immunity.

Correctional Emergency Response Team (CERT) at Ely State Prison (ESP). At approximately

arrived to the U6 A-Wing Sallyport, I observed Inmate
, Inmate GLASS
#1196925, and Inmate
approaching each other on the tier with
weapons. I then began to give multiple verbal commands to the Inmate?s to lay face down on
the ground. Inmates were refusing to comply with orders and chemical agents were applied. I
notified Shift Command that weapons were involved and chemical agents were applied. I then
observed that there was a total of five Inmates on the tier, and I notified Shift Command of that
as well. Once all of the Inmate?s followed orders to lay face down on the ground, CERT
instructed Inmate?s to come to the sallyport one at a time to be restrained. I assisted with
completing pat down searches in the sallyport before moving Inmate?s into the hallway to be
assessed by medical. After completing a pat down search on Inmate
, I was
instructed to escort the Inmate to visiting holding. The Inmate was assessed by medical before
being escorted to visiting holding. Upon arrival to visiting holding, I heard Inmate
tell

proceeded to place the Inmate into a visiting holding cell. I proceeded to get transport vehicles
