Khan, et al. v. Normand, et al., No. 11-30112 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePlaintiffs filed suit under 42 U.S.C. 1983 for claims arising out of their son's death. The district court granted summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity against their claims that law enforcement personnel used excessive force in restraining him. Plaintiffs appealed and argued that the use of a four-point restraint in this case was excessive force and defendants were not entitled to qualified immunity. The court held that the treatment of plaintiffs' son did not violate a clearly established right and consequently, defendants were protected by qualified immunity even if their conduct constituted excessive force.
