How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that “telling inmates [plaintiff] was a snitch” was “not inconsistent with a knowing disregard of a substantial risk to [plaintiff’s] safety”
• stating the standard for a district judge’s review of magistrate judges’ recommended rulings
• affirming judgment for the plaintiff because the evidence showed the defendant was deliberately indifferent under the Farmer standard when “he spread a rumor in the jail that an inmate was a snitch,” knowing “the inmate would probably be beaten by other inmates”
• de novo review requires the Court to “consider the actual testimony or other evidence in the record and not merely [to] review the magistrate’s report and recommendations”
• “[A] brief order expressly stating the court conducted de novo review is sufficient.”
