Ewells v. Constant
Annotate this CaseAppellant Damont Ewells, who was incarcerated, filed a civil complaint against Appellees, three law enforcement officers, seeking compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief. In his complaint, Appellant alleged that Appellees violated his constitutional rights, specifically claiming due process and excessive force violations. The circuit court granted Appellees' motion for summary judgment and dismissed Appellant's complaint with prejudice. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant, as the opposing party, failed to meet proof with proof and to demonstrate the existence of a genuine issue of material fact, and therefore, the circuit court properly granted summary judgment in favor of Appellees.
