Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Section 1983 Claim
Plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the county sheriff and two sheriff’s office personnel under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that they were deliberately indifferent to his medical needs. He also brought a Monell claim, alleging that the sheriff failed to ensure adequate resources at the jail. The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants and plaintiff appealed. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that plaintiff’s claims failed on the merit, were waived, or were barred by qualified immunity. (ST. EVE and LEE, concurring)
