Description
ROVNER, Circuit Judge. Steven Hill brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Sergeant William Shelander of the Tazewell County Sheriffs Department to recover damages for injuries he sustained while incarcerated at the Tazewell County Jail (the "jail"). Hill alleged that Shelander beat him without provocation and thereby deprived him of his eighth amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. Hill sued Shelander in his individual capacity, and Shelander sought shelter under the qualified immunity doctrine. The district court denied Shelanders motion for summary judgment, and he appeals. We affirm in part and dismiss in part.
