Dist.Ct. did not err in granting defendants-prison medical officials’ motion for summary judgment in plaintiff-pre-trial detainee’s section 1983 action, alleging that defendants violated his 14th Amendment rights by failing to ensure that he receive timely surgery on his broken nose. While record showed that plaintiff experienced series of cancellations for surgery on his nose at county hospital, plaintiff failed to present evidence that any of six individual defendants caused his surgery to be delayed. Moreover, record showed that said defendants did not have authority to schedule or perform relevant surgery, and each time said defendants encountered plaintiff, his surgery or another appointment was on plastic surgery schedule. Ct. rejected plaintiff’s claim that defendants failed to meet standard of care because they had failed to follow up with plastic surgery clinic to make sure that he had received his surgery. Also, plaintiff failed to present sufficient evidence to establish his claim against defendant-County, where evidence did not show that County’s policies caused plaintiff’s deprivations.
