UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

JUQAN DEMETRIUS MUHAMMAD PLAINTIFF

VS. NO. 5:03CV00433 JMM

JAMES BANKS, ET AL. DEFENDANT

ORDER

Defendants’ Amended Motion for Summary Judgment (#218) contends that a video tape

of the incident in which plaintiff alleges defendants used excessive force proves conclusively that

they did not use excessive force. Plaintiff contends that the video tape reflects just the opposite. 

The Court has reviewed the tape and finds that the question of how much force was

appropriate in removing plaintiff from his cell remains in dispute. Based upon this material

disputed fact, the amended motion is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 2 day of May , 2007.
