How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the objective unreasonableness standard applies to failure-to-protect claims brought by pretrial detainees
• noting that the fourth element of a pretrial detainee’s Fourteenth Amendment failure to protect claim against an individual officer requires the plaintiff to plead that the defendant caused the plaintiff’s injuries
• adopting the Castro test and explaining the defendant “must intend to carry out a[n] [objectively reasonable] course of actions”
• “Following Kingsley, Miranda, and Hardeman, a plaintiff such as Kemp challenging the conditions of his pretrial detention need show only that a defendant’s conduct was ‘objectively unreasonable.’”
• finding no evidence that an officer caused injuries or would have been alerted to a fight, despite his decision not to wear a hearing aid while on duty
• affirming summary judgment in part because the plaintiff “admitted that he never reported [to the defendant] his verbal disagreement with [the other detainees] or the ensuing threats to Jail employees”
