Christensen v. Weiss

Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit after their daughter committed suicide while being held in the county jail, alleging inadequate medical treatment, excessive force, and due process violations. The parties filed cross motions for summary judgment and the district court ruled favor of the defendants. On appeal, plaintiffs challenged the summary judgment order and the district court’s denial of their requests to amend their complaint and to extend deadlines. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that the district court did not commit reversible error. (BRENNAN and PRYOR, concurring)
