Roberts v. Neal

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendants-prison official and prison nurse’s motion for summary judgment in plaintiff-prisoner’s section 1983 action alleging that said defendants were deliberately indifferent to plaintiff’s request for treatment for his broken hand, where plaintiff’s grievances against both defendants neither mentioned said defendants by name nor provided information that should have identified them to grievance officer. However, Dist. Ct. erred in granting motion for summary judgment filed by remaining defendants-prison officials, since record was disputed as to whether plaintiff had filed timely grievance as to said defendants, and Dist. Ct. could not resolve said factual question without conducting evidentiary hearing.
