Andrew Layton died after Respondents, six on duty police officers working as a team, kept him in maximum restraints on his stomach for thirty minutes after they handcuffed his wrists behind his back and hobble tied his ankles together, applying compressive force on his neck, shoulder blades, back, hips and legs. During this prolonged period, Respondents kept Layton "hogtied" for fifteen minutes to get "the energy out of him" before taking him to jail. The Questions Presented are:

1. Was it clearly established in 2013, it is objectively unreasonable for officers to keep an individual in maximum restraint on his stomach for a prolonged period while applying compressive force after the individual is controlled by the officers with his wrists handcuffed behind his back and his legs and ankles hobble-tied together?

2. Does a court of appeals have subject-matter jurisdiction to hear an interlocutory appeal of a district court's decision that there is a genuine dispute as to material facts?

Was the use of prolonged prone restraint with compressive force on an individual who was already handcuffed and hobble-tied a clearly established constitutional violation?
