appeals. Waterbury's use of mace to restrain Fast Horse, who was caught in the act of
raping and beating his victim, see Jones v. Shields, 207 F.3d 491, 496 (8th Cir. 2000),
Waterbury's failure to anticipate a physical attack on Fast Horse by his victim's friend
as he knelt cuffed on the ground, see Mooreman v. Sargent, 991 F.2d 472, 474 (8th Cir.
1993), and Waterbury's conduct in taking Fast Horse's clothes for evidence in the rape
and leaving Fast Horse naked in his cell for 30-45 minutes, see Key v. McKinney, 176
F.3d 1083, 1086 (8th Cir. 1999), did not violate any of Fast Horse's constitutional
rights. We thus conclude that the district court properly granted Waterbury summary
judgment and we affirm.
