112612P.pdf 07/12/2012 Marchello McCaster v. Mary Clausen
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-2612
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bright and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. The district court erred in denying
the motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity as to
defendant nurses Mattson and Darling as the evidence was insufficient to
support a finding that plaintiff's illness was so obvious that they
perceived a serious medical need and deliberately disregarded it; district
court did not err in denying the remaining nurses' motion for summary
judgment as the record could support a finding that they knew of his
medical needs because they were obvious and failed to respond to them.
Judge Bright, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
