   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1862
                          and No:  09-1865
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and
   Lange, District Judge]
   Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. State defendants' appeal is
   dismissed to the extent it challenges the district court's decision on the
   issue of whether plaintiffs had exhausted their remedies; appeal by the
   medical defendants is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as it is not closely
   related or inextricably intertwined with the state defendants' qualified
   immunity appeal; district court did not err in denying the state
   defendants' motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity
   on plaintiffs' claims of deliberate indifference to their medical needs;
   district court did not err in denying the state defendants qualified
   immunity on plaintiffs' claims concerning the grievance procedure used
   for medical disputes; state defendants were entitled to qualified immunity
   on plaintiffs' state law claims for willful, wanton or malicious conduct.
