• \deliberate indifference to an imminent danger of injury to a prisoner [] gives him a valid claim to relief under section 1983\
• evidence that prisoner was being treated for back pain, along with prisoner's complaints about his inability to access top bunk, were enough to create triable issue of fact concerning medical need for low bunk
