We have recognized that Hudson’s “good-faith effort to
maintain or restore discipline” standard, 503 U.S. at 6, sets
forth the clearly established law regarding an Eighth
Amendment excessive force violation “in the context of
quelling a prison disturbance,” Martinez v. Stanford, 323 F.3d
1178, 1184 (9th Cir. 2003). Appellants offer only a
conclusory statement that the law was not clearly established
as to the appropriate use of force within the context of a
prison disturbance.      Accepting the jury’s finding of
appellants’ malicious and sadistic intent, see Morales,
873 F.3d at 823, and construing the record in the light most
favorable to the appellees, we disagree.
