081058P.pdf   02/25/2009  Philander Jenkins  v.  County of Hennepin
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1058
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. Plaintiff's evidence failed to establish a policy or custom of deliberate indifference to medical needs at the Hennepin County Detention Center; medical supervisor's decision to delay an x-ray of plaintiff's jaw for a day or two established, at worst, negligence, and would not support a claim for a constitutional violation; plaintiff failed to establish that the Detention Center's official policies reflected deliberate indifference to medical needs; employee's testimony concerning shortfalls in the provision of medical care was insufficient to establish the kind of pervasive patter of constitutional violations required to create liability on behalf of the County or the supervisor in her official capacity.
