How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a person detained before trial may bring a deliberate indifference claim only if she establishes that the defendant knowingly disregarded a risk of harm to the plaintiff
- finding, with respect to the objective prong, that “there is no dispute that Caioz-zo had a serious medical condition” where he suffered from alcohol withdrawal
- noting the lack of a dispute that severe withdrawal from alcohol had constituted a serious medical condition
- applying standard from Eighth Amendment jurisprudence to pretrial detainee's due process claims regarding medical care
- finding the plaintiff failed to establish deliberate indifference where “[m]ost of the evidence offered ... was in support of the argument that [the defendant] should have been aware that [he] was in immediate danger,” not “that [the defendant] was actually aware of that immediate danger”
- \[T]he standard for deliberate indifference is the same under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as it is under the Eighth Amendment.\
