U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1534
Eastern District of Arkansas
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Smith and Heaney, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. Given the extensive record of treatment
provided to the plaintiff's deceased, the district court did not err in
finding plaintiff failed to prove the prison officials were deliberately
indifferent to the deceased's medical needs; further, plaintiff failed to
provide the expert proof of causation needed to establish a connection
between the care defendants provided and her son's death from a
complex and difficult to diagnose condition. Judge Heaney, dissenting.
