Little Rock Police Officer David Hudson challenges the district court’s 1 denial of summary judgment based on qualified immunity on an excessive-force claim raised' by plaintiff Chris Erwin in a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful review, see Shannon v. Koehler, 616 F.3d 855, 861 (8th Cir. 2010) (appellate court has jurisdiction to review denial of qualified immunity through interlocutory appeal under collateral order doctrine; appellate review in this circumstance is limited to determining whether conduct district court found sufficiently supported for summary judgment purposes violated plaintiffs clearly established rights); Krout v. Goemmer, 583 F.3d 557, 564 (8th Cir. 2009) (de novo review of legal issues is given to district court’s determination that defendant is not entitled to qualified immunity), we conclude denial was appropriate for the reasons stated by the district court.

The denial of qualified immunity is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
