The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has ruled that a Miami police officer is not entitled to immunity from an excessive force civil rights lawsuit alleging he intentionally placed handcuffs tight enough to do permanent nerve damage to the hands of a man who had been stopped for speeding.
Judge Stanley Marcus authored the opinion released Thursday. Marcus was joined by Senior Judge Joel Dubina and U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Richard Goldberg, sitting by designation. They affirmed U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno of the Southern District of Florida in denying a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against Javier Ortiz of the Miami Police Department.
