Description
A prison special operations team forcibly removed Plaintiff-Appellee Floyd Serna from his cell based on reports that a prisoner, possibly his cell mate, had a loaded gun. Claiming he was injured during the incident due to excessive force, Serna filed a civil rights suit under 28 U.S.C. § 1983. He sued a number of correctional officials, including: (1) unidentified members of the prison special operations team; (2) the nurse and physician who treated his injuries; (3) the warden of the prison; and (4) Defendant-Appellant Gerald Gasko, the statewide director of prisons for Colorado. Sernas claims against Gasko were premised on his alleged supervision and control of the team that removed Serna from his cell.
