Fifth Circuit -- Reynaldo Ramirez v. Jim Wells County, Texas

Qualified immunity for policemen on false arrest claim, as arrest (mit taser) was justified due to the resisting of arrest (pulling arm out of policemen's grasp).

Excessive force claim survives, as the plaintiff apparently didn't resist after the arm-pull and before being tasered while lying on the ground, handcuffed.

Dissent: The policeman might have thought that the plaintiff was planning to resist arrest at some point in the future.

Ninth Circuit -- RAFAEL GONZALEZ V. CITY OF ANAHEIM

Fatal shooting was not an exercise of excessive force / DP deprivation, as officers were justified in the use of physical force to that point in the encounter, and the decedent was attempting to drive off with an officer in the passenger seat.

Dissent: At 3 to 6 miles per hour.
