There is little doubt that this conduct constituted physical restraint, see United States v. Thompson, 109 F.3d 639, 641 (9th Cir.1997); the only question is whether this defendant is liable for the conduct.

While the Ninth Circuit has decided that forcing someone to move by gunpoint constitutes physical restraint, see United States v. Thompson, 109 F.3d 639, 641 (9th Cir. 1997), no other circuit has found physical restraint without some type of confinement accompanying the forced movement at gunpoint.

The only arguably contrary decision is United States v. Thompson, 109 F.3d 639 (9th Cir.1997), where the Ninth Circuit said the bank robber “either repeatedly forced [one victim] to get down on the floor and get up again at gunpoint, or he forced [a second victim] to walk from the teller area to the vault area at gunpoint.... [EJither one of those acts, standing alone, amounted to physical restraint of a victim.” Id. at 641 (emphasis added).

Thompson, 109 F.3d 639, 641 (9th Cir.1997), which contained language indicating that physical restraint occurs anytime a victim has a gun pointed at her and is ordered to do something, involved the defendant forcing one victim to he down on the floor and forcing another to walk a short distance at gunpoint.
