The United States Court of Appeals affirmed a district court’s dismissal of a Bivens action

In July 2018, Edwards pleaded guilty to coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). During his sentencing, he began yelling at the judge and the Assistant United States Attorney (“AUSA”). Edwards took an aggressive stance, raising his hands and slightly cocking his arms back, and lunged towards the AUSA’s desk. A Deputy United States Marshal, a District Security Officer, a private prison guard, and three Court Security Officers restrained him, and broke his arm in the process. Edwards filed a Bivens suit against them all.
