Pourmoghani-Esfahani v. Gee, No. 10-10020

In Pourmoghani-Esfahani v. Gee, No. 10-10020, a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 case alleging that defendant applied excessive force to plaintiff and was deliberately indifferent to her serious medical needs while plaintiff was detained at the Hillsborough County Jail in Tampa, Florida, the court affirmed in part the denial of summary judgment based on qualified immunity for defendants, holding that the force defendant used was obviously--in the light of the preexisting law--beyond what the Constitution would allow under the circumstances.  However, the court reversed in part where the medical treatment that plaintiff received would support no conclusion of deliberate indifference by defendant.
