Text: Furthermore, plaintiff has alleged facts that create an issue as to whether defendant Robert Hinson’s actions violated Lanman’s constitutional rights. Hinson arrived on the scene shortly after the code easy alarm sounded. He grabbed Lanman’s left arm and wrist and extended it above his head. Hinson was attempting to place a leather restraint on Lanman’s left wrist when he was alerted to the fact that Lanman had stopped breathing. The fact that Hinson had physical contact with Lanman at the time he ceased breathing and he was positioned near the top of Lanman’s body, where Richard Hunter testified that he saw someone place their knee on Lanman’s back and use his body weight to hold Lanman face down, is enough to create an issue as to whether Hinson was deliberately indifferent to Lanman’s medical needs.
