April 12, 2026 Filing 5 CIVIL APPEAL STATEMENT OF PARTIES AND ISSUES filed by Attorney Mr. Rhys Brendan Cartwright-Jones for Appellant Mr. Brandon Brown. Is this case a cross-appeal? No ; Has this case or a related one been before this court previously? No ; Please identify the party(ies) the appeal is being taken against: Matt Bueno ; Issues: Whether the district court erred in granting summary judgment on Brown's federal excessive-force claim and parallel Ohio battery claim where the summary-judgment record, viewed in Brown's favor, showed that Brown was a suicidal but nonviolent pretrial detainee who was naked or nearly naked, outnumbered by multiple officers, not threatening staff, and at most passively noncompliant in refusing to fully disrobe or lift his legs, yet was taken to the floor by force during a cell entry, such that a reasonable jury could find the takedown objectively unreasonable under the Fourth and/or Fourteenth Amendment and not protected by qualified or state-law immunity. .
