How courts have described this case

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

• holding that because the decedent “sat calmly in the back of the patrol car, followed directions, answered questions posed, and remained quiet and seated on a bench inside the jail,” decedent did not display an objectively serious medical need
• holding pre-trial detainee, who was found standing next to creek, soaking wet, and reporting that his vehicle was going to “blow up,” and who was combative during arrest, did not have objectively serious medical need
• stating that an officer not involved in the decision to accept a prisoner at the jail could not have violated the prisoner’s constitutional rights based on the intake and is entitled to summary judgment for the intake
• finding that officers lacked knowledge of a serious medical need when “once arrested, [arrestee] sat calmly in the back of the patrol car, followed directions, answered questions posed, and remained quiet and seated on a bench inside the jail”
• applying the Eighth Amendment’s deliberate- indifference standard to pretrial detainee’s claims that he was denied adequate medical care
• “[T]he Fourteenth Amendment affords pre-trial detainees at least as much protection as the Eighth Amendment does to convicted prisoners.”
