From Maryland comes an excessive force case (Coley v. Harris, No. DKC-11-1504 (D.Md. Jan. 19, 2012) with an unusual impetus:

“The uncontroverted portion of the record reveals that the use of force was prompted by Plaintiff’s refusal to follow direct orders to enter his cell because he was upset that he did not receive a sufficient number of sandwiches.”

The lesson here is simple: never deny a man his grilled cheese sandwich.
