• holding that “modest deprivations can also form the objective basis of a violation, but only if such deprivations are lengthy or ongoing”
• holding that evidence 20 inmates “received inadequate drinking water for four days” could violate the Eighth 21 Amendment
• noting that “[m]ore modest deprivations can also form the objective basis of a violation, but only if such deprivations are lengthy or ongoing”
• holding that the several days prisoners 16 were forced to stay in the yard was a “relatively brief” amount of time and precluded them from 17 bringing a claim for “minor deprivations”
• finding that inmates presented a triable Eighth Amendment claim where they alleged, among other things, that they received inadequate drinking water for four days
• concluding the heightened Whitley standard applied during a prison riot, but the deliberate indifference standard governed prison officials' conduct once inmates were prone and handcuffed in a prison yard
