   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1178
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Beam and Bye, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. Defendants were entitled to judgment as a
   matter of law on plaintiff's claim that they were deliberately indifferent to
   her decedent's medical needs as both defendant Julian and defendant
   Campbell were entitled to qualified immunity; while defendant Julian may
   have been negligent in certain actions she took, such as downgrading the
   deceased from a twenty-minute to a thirty-minute suicide watch, her
   actions did not constitute deliberate indifference when viewed in the
   context of the affirmative, deliberate steps she took to prevent his suicide
   while he was incarcerated at the Dodge County Jail; under defendant
   Campbell's management of the jail, it had it in place a practice where
   inmates at risk of committing suicide were identified, put on suicide
   watch, given medical attention by a registered nurse and, if necessary, a
   contract psychologist; as a result, defendant Campbell was entitled to
   qualified immunity; Dodge County was also entitled to judgment as a
   matter of law as none of the alleged deficiencies in its procedures and
   practices demonstrated that the County had a custom, policy or practice 
   violating the deceased's constitutional rights and causing his suicide.
   Judge Bye, dissenting.
