How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that plaintiff who failed to provide evidence that doctors intentionally disregarded nurse’s note in his medical chart could not prevail on deliberate indifference claim
  • holding that a defendant’s misdiagnosis of a plaintiff’s eye condition was not deliberately indifferent because that defendant was not aware of any risk to plaintiff’s eye
  • finding that plaintiff presented “no evidence that might suggest the doctors acted unreasonably by not ordering Amitriptyline before first verifying [plaintiffs] condition and the prescription with his neurologist”
  • finding that failing to review an inmate’s medical records to determine an inmate’s medical needs is not deliberately indifferent
  • finding at summary judgment that a doctor did not act with deliberate indifference by failing to review a nurse’s note
  • “With no evidence that the doctors knew about the note and deliberately disregarded it, failure to review the nurse’s note is at most negligence, which is insufficient to establish deliberate indifference.”
