How courts have described this case

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

  • concluding that genuine issue of fact existed where plaintiff had “threatened and attempted suicide on several occasions in the past”
  • holding that such arguments “further suggest a lack of a link between County policy and [the inmate’s] suicide”
  • holding that an argument was waived where the plaintiff had an opportunity to raise it before the district court but did not do so
  • holding that there was a genuine issue of fact concerning the objective component of deliberate indifference based on attempted suicides in the past and the attempt in the same facility a month before suicide
  • noting that “once a prisoner has been deemed suicidal, it is clearly established 6 Case No. 23-5608, Bryant v. Hensley, et al. that the prisoner is entitled to continuing medical treatment”
  • granting qualified immunity because caselaw did not clearly establish that inmates enjoy a right to accurate suicide-risk assessments or effective suicide- monitoring arrangements
