MEMORANDUM AND ORDER RE: QUALIFIED IMMUNITY

Pending before this court are issues of qualified immunity in this civil rights action brought by plaintiff Lionel Rogers (“plaintiff’). Defendant Gerald L. Cofield, Jr., an officer of the Boston Police Department (“Officer Cofield”), raised this affirmative defense in his answer. He also raised it in a Rule 50(a), Fed.R.Civ.P., motion. (Docket Entry # 51).

As explained in far greater detail in a prior Memorandum and Order (Docket Entry # 80), 2011 WL 6140974, the verdict form set out a false arrest claim and an excessive force claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (“section 1983”) as well as common law claims for false arrest, assault, battery and abuse of process. The verdict form did not distinguish between the false arrest and excessive force section 1983 claims in question one.1 (Docket Entry *279# 52, No. 1). The jury answered the section 1983 question in plaintiffs favor.

The verdict form also included a preliminary factual question to the jury regarding qualified immunity.2 (Docket Entry # 52, No. 11). The jury answered affirmatively the question of whether “a reasonable policeman would have understood that the conduct of [Officer Cofield] violated the plaintiffs right to be free from an unreasonable seizure of his person under the Fourth Amendment.” (Docket Entry # 52, No. 11). The jury charge phrased the first element of a section 1983 claim as the violation of the defendant’s “constitutional right under the Fourth Amendment to be free from an unreasonable seizure of his person.” (Docket Entry # 53, p. 83). Thus, like the section 1983 liability question, the qualified immunity question combined the excessive force and the false arrest section 1983 claims into a single question.

Because plaintiff did not address the qualified immunity issue in either of its post trial motions (Docket Entry ## 64 & 66), this court addressed the issue sua sponte in the Memorandum and Order (Docket Entry # 80, pp. 98-105). The Memorandum and Order denied immunity on the false arrest section 1983 claim; found in plaintiffs favor on the first prong of the immunity analysis on the excessive force section 1983 claim; and requested briefing on the second prong relative to the latter claim. After hearing oral argument, this court took the matter under advisement.

DISCUSSION

Officer Cofield’s brief initially discusses this court’s determination regarding the first prong of qualified immunity, i.e., the sufficiency of the evidence to support each of the two constitutional violations. He points out, correctly, that this court construed the evidence in favor of the section 1983 general verdict without limiting that review to those facts that would support the battery verdict.3 Because factual disputes are the province of the jury, Officer Cofield submits that this court should not overlook the jury’s finding that he did not commit a battery for both prongs. (Docket Entry # 82).

In ruling on the post trial motions and qualified immunity, the Memorandum and Order did not limit the facts to those con*280sistent with the battery verdict because Officer Cofield failed to object to the verdict before this court discharged the jury4 thereby waiving an inconsistency challenge. (Docket Entry # 80, pp. 55-57) (collecting case law); see generally Rodriguez-Garcia v. Municipality of Caguas, 495 F.3d 1, 9 (1st Cir. 2007) (First Circuit follows “ ‘iron-clad rule’ that a party that fails to raise an objection based on verdict inconsistency before the jury is dismissed waives the issue”). As to qualified immunity, the Memorandum and Order set out the two prongs of the analysis5 and explained that:

Where, as here, the qualified immunity analysis arises after a jury verdict, the first prong examining the existence of a constitutional violation involves considering “the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a finding of excessive force,” Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d at 36; Jennings v. Jones, 499 F.3d at 11 n. 12,6 or, as to the section 1983 false arrest claim, the sufficiency of the evidence that Officer Cofield had probable cause to make the arrest.

(Docket Entry # 80, pp. 100-101). The Raiche decision warrants further elaboration .in light of Officer Cofield’s argument.

The Raiche court addressed qualified immunity on appeal after a jury trial. Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d 30, 35 (1st Cir. 2010). Pietroski prevailed on the claims asserting a false arrest section 1983 claim; a counterpart claim under the Massachusetts Civil Rights Act, Mass. Gen. L. ch. 12, §§ 11H and I (“MCRA”); and a common law false imprisonment claim. Id. Raiche prevailed on the section 1983 excessive force claim, the MCRA excessive force claim and the common law assault and battery claim. Id. at 34-35. The court addressed the first prong of the immunity analysis by examining both the excessive force and false arrest section claims. Id. at 38. Elsewhere, the Raiche court reiterated that, “because our analysis comes after a jury verdict in Raiche’s favor, we must consider the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a finding of excessive force.” Id. at 36 (citing Jennings v. Jones, 499 F.3d at 11 n. 12).

The Jennings case confirms the requirement that, “where the jury has is*281sued a general verdict, as it did here, we <view[] the facts in the light most favorable to the verdict.’ ” Jennings v. Jones, 499 F.3d at 7 (quoting Whitfield v. Meléndez-Rivera, 431 F.3d 1, 8 (1st Cir. 2005)) (brackets in original). “This view of the facts persists throughout the three [now two] prongs of the qualified immunity analysis.’’. Id. Overall, the applicable standard for addressing qualified immunity after a jury verdict entails construing the evidence “in the light most hospitable to the party that prevailed at trial,” Iacobucci v. Boulter, 193 F.3d 14, 23 (1st Cir. 1999), “giving ‘deference to the jury’s discernible resolution of disputed factual issues.’ ” Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d at 35 (quoting Iacobucci v. Boulter, 193 F.3d at 23); accord Guillemard-Ginorio v. Contreras-Gomez, 585 F.3d 508, 525 (1st Cir. 2009) (when qualified immunity arises after trial, “evidence is ‘construed in the light most hospitable to the party that prevailed at trial,’ and deference is ‘accorded the jury’s discernible resolution of disputed factual issues’ ”). Finally, the duty to resolve inconsistent verdicts harmoniously if possible applies to the qualified immunity analysis. See Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d at 37.

The discernable facts found by the jury include the absence of a resulting harmful or offensive contact to plaintiff. They also encompass the finding that Officer Cofield arrested plaintiff for one or more of the chargeable offenses without probable cause or justification.

The reasoning for finding these discern-able facts originates in the jury’s answers to questions in the verdict form. With respect to the first discernable fact, the Memorandum and Order details the distinctions and the overlap between the legal elements in the claims encompassed in the verdict form. (Docket Entry # 80, pp. 32-48). Briefly stated as the expositor of its own order, see Iacobucci v. Boulter, 193 F.3d at 19, the defendant favorable battery verdict required the jury to find the absence of a resulting harmful or offensive contact because such a harmful or offensive contact is a required element of battery but not a section 1983 excessive force claim, a section 1983 false arrest claim or an assault claim.7 (Docket Entry # 80, pp. 32-39). The plaintiff favorable answers to the common law false arrest and the liability section 1983 questions (Docket Entry # 52, Nos. 1 & 2) result in the discernable factual finding that Officer Cofield arrested plaintiff without probable cause or justification.

A. Immunity as to False Arrest

It is true that the Memorandum and Order denied immunity to the false arrest section 1983, claim without considering the discernable fact from the battery verdict of the absence of a resulting harmful or offensive contact. Nevertheless, if this court had considered this discernable fact in the Memorandum and Order, the qualified immunity result for the false arrest section 1983 claim would not change.

First, the facts with respect to the battery verdict primarily took place after the false arrest. The absence of a harmful or offensive contact was not required to find an unconstitutional false arrest or determinative of the applicable clearly established law in December 2004. As correctly posited by Officer Cofield (Docket Entry # 82, p. 7), a false arrest claim is distinct from an excessive force claim. See Calvi v. Knox County, 470 F.3d 422, 431 (1st Cir. *2822006); see also Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d at 37-38 (“ ‘reasonableness’ of an arrest ‘depends not only on when it is made’ — re.g., after probable cause has accrued — ‘but also on how it is carried out’ ”) (quoting Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 395, 109 S.Ct. 1865, 104 L.Ed.2d 443 (1989)) (emphasis in original). Second, this is particularly true where, as here, the time frames for the arrest and the alleged use of excessive force are not coextensive even though they involve the same incident.

To elaborate on the facts found by this court on the false arrest section 1983 claim relative to the denial of immunity on that claim (Docket Entry # 80, pp. 39-41 & 100-101), Officer Cofield came out from behind the front desk and yelled loudly at plaintiff a number of times that he needed to talk to him. Plaintiff was calm and repeatedly agreed to his requests. Officer Cofield then rushed over to plaintiff and was right in his face. Officer Cofield continued screaming at plaintiff about his wife trying to file a complaint against him and that he was supposed to be at the police station at 4:00 p.m. Plaintiff backed up but Officer Cofield kept coming towards him. Plaintiff stopped at a point near or against a wall at which point Officer Cofield remained right in plaintiffs face. Plaintiff did not push or touch Officer Cofield and was not raising his voice, yelling or acting in a combative manner. Plaintiff remained compliant and repeatedly agreed to Officer Cofield’s requests to speak with him. Plaintiff was not creating a disturbance. Even though plaintiff did not push Officer Cofield, who had his back turned to face plaintiffs family, Officer Cofield turned back to plaintiff, told him he was under arrest (Docket Entry # 60, pp. 100-101) and proceeded to effect that arrest. At that point8 and prior to the use of unreasonable or excessive force, if any, and prior to plaintiff raising his voice, there was more than sufficient evidence that Officer Cofield did not have probable cause to reasonably find that plaintiff had or was committing the offenses of assault and battery on a police officer, disturbing the peace or even engaging in disorderly conduct.

Officer Cofield then proceeded to effectuate the arrest by placing his hands on plaintiffs chest whereupon plaintiff dropped to the ground like dead weight. Plaintiff still remained compliant and calm. Officer Cofield told plaintiffs family to leave the station and, together with Lieutenant Detective Patrick Cullity (“Lieutenant Cullity”), picked plaintiff up off the ground. Officer Cofield told plaintiff to put his hands behind his back and again told him he was under arrest. Raising his voice, plaintiff exclaimed, “What did I do wrong, Officer? What did I do?” (Docket Entry # 48, p. 27). Officer Cofield did not answer the questions. With his wrists held by Officer Cofield, plaintiff walked to the door leading to the back of the station. Shortly before reaching the door, plaintiff fell and Officer Cofield fell on top of him. Plaintiffs cell phone came out of his pocket and he speed dialed Laura Wilkerson (“Wilkerson”), his girlfriend at the time, and yelled into the phone, “you’re hurting my back.”9 (Docket Entry # 48, p. 33). *283Shortly thereafter, Lieutenant Cullity lifted plaintiff up from the floor and he was taken through the door for booking.

For reasons set out in the Memorandum and Order, Officer Cofield’s conduct was such an obvious violation of plaintiffs Fourth Amendment right that he would not have required prior case law to be placed on notice that the conduct was unlawful under the second prong of qualified immunity. Clearly established law defined at the necessary level of specificity instructed not only that a warrantless' arrest required probable cause but that probable cause was required for the offenses in this case that could be charged under the cir-': eumstances.10 Like Iacobucci, plaintiff remained calm and in control. See Iacobucci v. Boulter, 193 F.3d at 21-22 (determining whether facts and circumstances within arresting officer’s knowledge were sufficiently clear such that reasonable officer would have understood arresting the plaintiff for disorderly conduct violated the plaintiffs constitutional right). He was neither loud nor disorderly. See Id. at 24 (noting that “Iacobucci remained cool, calm, and collected throughout” and therefore agreeing with lower court’s finding “that an objectively reasonable officer would not have thought that Iacobucci was subject to arrest for disorderly conduct”). Hence, an objectively reasonable officer in Officer Cofield’s “shoes ‘would have understood that,’ ” Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d at 36, arresting plaintiff for disorderly conduct, assault and battery on a police officer or disturbing the peace violated plaintiffs constitutional right to be free from such an arrest without probable cause. Indeed, a reasonable police officer would have understood there was no probable cause and he would not have made a mistake in this regard. Accordingly, as determined in the Memorandum and Order and consistent-with the aforementioned discernable facts found by the jury, including the absence of a harmful or offensive contact, and the jury’s affirmative answer to the immunity question (Docket Entry # 52, No. 11), Officer Cofield is not entitled to qualified immunity from damages -on-the section 1983 false arrest claim.

B. Immunity as to Excessive Force

Turning to the immunity determination regarding the excessive force section 1983 claim, the Memorandum and Order determined there was sufficient evidence that Officer Cofield violated plaintiffs Fourth Amendment right to be free from an unreasonable seizure of his person. As indicated above, in arriving at this conclusion on the first prong this court did not consider the discernable fact that there was an absence of a resulting harmful or offensive contact to plaintiff.

In order to avoid qualified immunity, “both prongs must be satisfied.” Id. at 35. Examining the second prong, this court will consider the discernable facts found by the jury including -the foregoing fact.11 Deferring to the jury’s discernable facts shows that Officer Cofield arrested plaintiff without' probable cause for the offenses *284of assault and battery on a police officer and/or disturbing the peace. (Docket Entry # 52, No. 1 & 2). Throughout, plaintiff did not, however, experience a harmful or offensive contact.12 The jury also found that a reasonable policeman would have understood that the conduct of Officer Co-field violated plaintiffs right to be free from an unreasonable seizure of his person.13 (Docket Entry # 52, No. 11). Assuming the jury followed the instructions (Docket Entry # 53, pp. 83-84), see Morales-Vallellanes v. Potter, 605 F.3d 27, 35 (1st Cir. 2010), the affirmative answer to the foregoing immunity question (Docket Entry # 52, No. 11) encompassed either the false arrest section 1983 claim or the excessive force section 1983 claim or both.

The initial task is to attempt to resolve the jury’s verdicts and the necessary facts to support the verdicts without finding an inconsistency. See Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d at 37 (construing facts “relevant to probable cause in Pietroski’s favor and those relevant to excessive force in Raiehe’s favor” to avoid inconsistency in deciding qualified immunity);14 see also Jarrett v. Town of Yarmouth, 331 F.3d 140, 147 (1st Cir. 2003) (in context of qualified immunity, first determining jury’s factual determination as to which of two theories presented in a single question the jury found in phase I based on its answer to a special interrogatory in phase II). Officer Cofield argues that viewing the facts in the light most favorable to the verdict with deference to the jury’s finding that no battery took place results in a determination that plaintiff did not prove, and therefore the jury did not find, excessive force in answering “yes” to question one. (Docket Entry #82, p. 3). Given this argument, the decision in Jarrett is instructive.

The verdict in the first of the two trial phases in Jarrett asked the jury if “ ‘Officer Peter McClelland used excessive force on Jerome Jarrett on 12/16/94.’ ” Jarrett v. Town of Yarmouth, 331 F.3d at 144. The jury answered “Yes.” Id. The verdict encompassed two theories or versions of the facts of excessive force with respect to *285Officer McClelland’s release of a police dog. The first version was “that Officer McClelland ordered [the dog] to bite and hold after Jarrett surrendered himself,” a finding that would constitute excessive force. Id. at 147 (emphasis in original). The second version was that Officer McClelland released the dog after issuing verbal warnings in order “to apprehend a fleeing suspect,” a finding that would not necessarily amount to excessive force. Id. The court resolved the ambiguity by looking at the jury’s answer to a question presented in the second phase. That question asked the same jury if Officer McClelland acted “ ‘in accordance with the Town of Yarmouth (sic) policy and procedure when he released the dog on December 16, 1994?’ ” Id. at 144. The jury answered ‘Yes” notwithstanding its earlier conclusion “in Phase I that Officer McClelland used excessive force in apprehending Jarrett on the night in question.” Id. Because the factual record did not suggest that town policies “permit[ted] an officer to command a police dog to attack a suspect who ha[d] already surrendered,” the court found that, “no reasonable jury could accept Jarrett’s version of the facts — that he had already surrendered when Officer McClelland released [the dog] — and simultaneously conclude that McClelland acted in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Town of Yarmouth.” Id. at 147. Thus, because the jury found that Officer McClelland acted in accordance with town policies, it “must have implicitly found that he issued the proper verbal warnings to Jarrett before releasing [the dog].” Id. at 148.

Here too, the jury’s answer to the battery question (Docket Entry # 52, No. 4) yields the finding that no reasonable jury could find excessive force in answer to question one. (Docket Entry # 80, p. 46). The plaintiff favorable false arrest verdict (Docket Entry # 52, No. 2 & 3) confirms that the jury answered question one with a plaintiff favorable false arrest finding and a defendant favorable excessive force finding.

To elaborate, question one encompassed the false arrest and the excessive force section 1983 claims. Like Jarrett, the jury’s other responses in the verdict form supply the answer as to whether the jury accepted both or either claim in answering question one.15 In particular, the difference between the elements of the excessive force claim and the defendant favorable battery verdict is that the defendant favorable battery verdict included the implicit finding that plaintiff did not experience a harmful or offensive contact. (Docket Entry # 80, pp. 35-36 & n. 38). No set of facts, however, supports both a plaintiff favorable excessive force finding and a finding that plaintiff did not-experience a harmful or offensive contact. (Docket Entry # 80, p. 47). In light of the overlap in the reasonableness of force analysis, the battery verdict dispels any conclusion that the jury found in plaintiffs favor on the subsumed excessive force claim in answering question one. See Carter v. Rogers, 805 F.2d 1153, 1158 (4th Cir. 1986) (“we dp not perceive on the facts of this case how the factfinder could find for Carter on one cause of action [assault and battery] and not on the other [section 1983 excessive force]” because “[unreasonable or unnecessary force was the touchstone of both causes of action”); Wargo v. Municipality of Monroeville, PA, 646 F.Supp.2d 777, 789 (W.D.Pa. 2009) (“[b]ecause no reasonable jury could conclude that the force *286used by [the defendant police officers] was .excessive, no underlying tort claims of assault and battery against” the defendants “would lie”); see also Raiche v. Pietroski, 623 F.3d at 40 (“our determination of the reasonableness of the force used under § 1983 controls our determination of the reasonableness of the force used under the common law assault and battery claims”); Aczel v. Labonia, 584 F.3d 52, 57 (2nd Cir. 2009) (if a “police officer uses excessive force in violation of a plaintiffs constitutional rights, it is to be expected that the victim will suffer harm proximately caused by the excessive force”); Stallworth v. City of Cleveland, 893 F.2d 830, 832-833 (6th Cir. 1990) (jury’s affirmative answer to question that officer used excessive force was inconsistent with jury’s negative answer to question of whether the plaintiff established that officer intentionally made physical contact with victim with respect to assault and battery claim).

Confirming the defendant favorable excessive force finding in question one is the jury’s finding that plaintiff established all of the necessary elements of a 'common law false arrest claim against Officer Cofield and its finding that Officer Cofield did not satisfy his burden to show justification for the arrest.16 (Docket Entry # 52, No. 2 & 3). The instructions informed the jury that the justification requirement equated to, or substantially overlapped with, the constitutional requirement of probable cause.17 Thus, it is more than reasonably *287certain that the jury found in plaintiffs favor on the false arrest claim encompassed in the section 1983 general verdict. In sum, by virtue of the overlapping and distinct elements of the claims and the jury’s answers in the verdict form, the discernable facts found by the jury for purposes of the second prong include that Officer Cofield did not engage in excessive and unreasonable force although he did engage in a false arrest without probable cause. Similarly, there is no inconsistency between the defendant favorable battery verdict in question four and the section 1983 verdict in question one.18

In addition to the jury’s discernable facts, this court adds, as previously noted, that after Officer Cofield first told plaintiff he was under arrest, Officer Cofield put his hands on plaintiffs chest at which point plaintiff dropped to the ground. Officer Cofield and Lieutenant Cullity picked plaintiff up from the ground. (Docket Entry # 48, pp. 26-27). Officer Cofield then walked in back of plaintiff holding both of plaintiffs wrists. As they approached the door leading to the back of the police station, plaintiff fell and Officer Cofield fell on top of him. After plaintiff spoke briefly and excitedly to Wilkerson on his cell phone, Lieutenant Cullity picked plaintiff up from the floor and escorted him to the booking desk with Officer Diane Gill. At this juncture, Lieutenant Cullity told Officer Cofield to step away. Plaintiff remained upset but eventually calmed down as the booking process progressed.19 Such facts are consistent with the battery verdict and also support a finding that Officer Cofield did not use excessive or unreasonable force.20

Clearly established law at the time of the December 2004 incident prohibited the use of excessive force under the Fourth Amendment’s right to be free from an *288unreasonable seizure of the person.21 See Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. at 394-395, 109 S.Ct. 1865. “Where the excessive force claim arises in the context of an arrest of a free citizen, it is most properly characterized as one invoking the protections of the Fourth Amendment, which guarantees citizens the right ‘to be secure in their persons against unreasonable seizures’ of the person.” Jarrett v. Town of Yarmouth, 331 F.3d at 148 (internal ellipses omitted). The test employed by the Supreme Court, in Graham “ ‘requires careful attention to the facts and circumstances of each particular case, including the severity of the crime at issue, whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and whether he is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight.’” Jarrett v. Town of Yarmouth, 331 F.3d at 148 (quoting Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. at 396, 109 S.Ct. 1865); accord Dean v. City of Worcester, 924 F.2d 364, 368 (1st Cir. 1991). Under the objective reasonableness standard, “ ‘Not every push or shove, even if it may later seem unnecessary in the peace of a judge’s chambers, violates the Fourth Amendment.’ ” Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. at 396, 109 S.Ct. 1865. The reasonableness calculus thereby embodies an “allowance for the fact that police officers are often forced to make split-second judgments — in circumstances that are tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving- — about the amount of force that is necessary in a particular situation.” Id. at 396-397, 109 S.Ct. 1865.

The Graham decision and foregoing principles, however, only set out “the general proposition that use of force is contrary to the Fourth Amendment if it is excessive under objective standards of reasonableness.” Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 201-202, 121 S.Ct. 2151, 150 L.Ed.2d 272 (2001) (emphasis added). Defining this clearly established law with the requisite degree of specificity entails considering cases involving materially similar conduct such as the use of similar force in the context of a warrantless arrest without probable cause. See Jennings v. Jones, 499 F.3d at 16 (law is clearly established “if courts have previously ruled that materially similar conduct was unconstitutional”).

A First Circuit case prior to December 2004 analyzed the Graham factors and found that the police officers engaged in excessive force in the context of a warrant-less arrest for criminal trespass in a restaurant. See Alexis v. McDonald’s Restaurants of Massachusetts, Inc., 67 F.3d 341, 346 & 353 (1st Cir. 1995). There, a police officer told the arrestee “she was being placed under arrest” and then, without asking the arrestee to get up from the table, the officer “abruptly pulled” the arrestee “from the booth, and across a table, with sufficient force to bruise her legs, then handcuffed [her] with her hands behind her back and dragged and carried [her] to a police cruiser and pushed [her] inside.” Id. at 353.

In another First Circuit case prior to the December 2004 incident, the court determined that facts involving an inactive, previously executed arrest warrant survived a motion to dismiss a false arrest section 1983 claim. See Pena-Borrero v. Estremeda, 365 F.3d 7, 12 (1st Cir. 2004). The court, however, found the facts insufficient to withstand the motion to dismiss an excessive force section 1983 claim even though the officers pushed the plaintiffs arms behind his back to almost his neck *289and the plaintiff told the officers “ ‘they were hurting him.’ ” Id. The arrest however took place in the middle of the night in unknown circumstances as the officers entered the plaintiffs home, id., thus warranting a greater use of force than needed in a police station. In short, in light of the Alexis and Penar-Borrero decisions, prior existing case law was not so clearly established that it gave Officer Cofield fair notice that it was unconstitutional to exert the force he used on December 5, 2004. Likewise, Officer Cofield’s conduct was not an obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against the use of excessive force.

Applying the clearly established law in the circumstances of this case and as previously determined, Officer Cofield put his hands on plaintiffs chest whereupon plaintiff fell to the ground like dead weight. Officer Cofield and Lieutenant Cullity picked plaintiff up from the ground and Officer Cofield proceeded to hold plaintiffs wrists while walking him across the room to the door. Without making a harmful push to plaintiffs back, plaintiff fell to the ground and Officer Cofield fell on top of plaintiff. During the ensuing exchange on the ground, an objectively reasonable officer would not have believed his conduct violated plaintiffs clearly established right to be free from unreasonable or excessive force. In compliance with Lieutenant Cullity’s instruction, Officer Cofield then stepped away from plaintiff. In short, assuming the jury found in plaintiffs favor, Officer Cofield is entitled to qualified immunity for the excessive force claim under the second prong of the immunity analysis.

Turning to the amount of damages subject to immunity, the jury awarded past compensatory damages in the amount of $26,188.30. (Docket Entry #52, No. 7). The jury attributed $26,188.30 of the total past compensatory damages awarded in question seven ($26,188.30) entirely to the section 1983 claim above and beyond any damages awarded for the state law claims. (Docket Entry # 80, p. 91; Docket Entry # 52, No. 7 & 12).

Two reasons entitle plaintiff to the entire award. First, Officer Cofield’s immunity against a monetary award on the excessive force section 1983 claim is unavailing because, as explained above, there was no plaintiff favorable excessive force section 1983 verdict. See Halcomb v. Woods, 767 F.Supp.2d 123, 140 (D.D.C. 2011) (“[qjualified immunity is relevant only to those constitutional claims that were decided against Mr. Woods”).

Second, even if the jury awarded damages on an excessive force claim, the amount of past damages awarded by the jury on the false arrest section 1983 claim are the same as those awarded, if any, on the section 1983 excessive force claim. The discernable facts determined by the jury include the absence of a harmful or offensive contact thus eliminating recovery for the chiropractic bills. The instructions repeatedly advised the jury not to award damages that duplicate damages for the same injury awarded on another claim. (Tr. IV-92, 97, 99 & 101). Assuming that the jury followed these instructions repeated four times, see Morales-Vallellanes v. Potter, 605 F.3d at 35, the jury did not award damages that duplicated the same injury in arriving at the $26,188.30 figure representing past section 1983 damages. Where, as here, damages for the false arrest section 1983 verdict duplicate and entirely overlap damages awarded, if any, for the excessive force section 1983 “verdict,” plaintiff may “select the body of law under which the damages will be paid.”22 *290Foley v. City of Lowell, Massachusetts, 948 F.2d 10, 17 (1st Cir. 1991).

The award of future damages ($75,-000.00) is not subject to immunity insofar as it represents an award on the state law assault and false arrest verdicts. As explained in the Memorandum and Order, the evidence concerning future compensatory damages for emotional and mental pain and suffering was not specific to any one claim. (Docket Entry # 80, pp. 95— 96). Thus, an award of future mental pain and suffering for the false arrest section 1983 claim encompasses and duplicates future damages awarded, if any, for the use of excessive force.

CONCLUSION

Qualified immunity is warranted on the false arrest section 1983 verdict but not on the excessive force section 1983 claim subsumed in question one of the verdict form. A final judgment shall issue in accordance with this opinion. This court will address the collateral matter of attorneys’ fees at a hearing on December 19, 2012, at 2:30 p.m.
