ORDER

Robert Sallie, formerly a pretrial detainee in the Dane County Jail, filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that Deputy Sheriff Jeffrey Thiel used excessive force when he closed a feed slot door on Sallie’s finger, severing the fingertip. The case went to trial, and a jury found that Thiel had not used excessive force.
