How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that providing accommodations, even if imperfect, “is not behavior consistent with a harboring of animus or ill will toward disabled inmates”
- stating the plaintiffs’ inability to access a functional elevator was “not the kind of deprivation” that denied a basic human need
- finding “the absence of accessible water fountains throughout Green Haven are not conditions that deprive Plaintiffs of ‘the minimal civilized measure of life’s necessities’ or ‘pose an unreasonable risk of serious damage’ to future health.”
- “[I]t is settled in this Circuit that a transfer from a prison facility moots an action for injunctive relief against the transferring facility.”
- “[The][p]laintiffs’ perception that the Green Haven grievance program was ineffective or that the filing of grievances was futile is insufficient to negate the PLRA’s exhaustion requirement.”
