U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2022
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. In an action alleging defendants
failed to protect plaintiff, then a jail detainee awaiting trial, from
attack by other inmates, the district court did not err in denying
defendant Childs' motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity
as there was evidence from which a jury could conclude Childs was
deliberately indifferent to plaintiff's safety by failing to act on a
warning of a possible attack; however, the district court erred in denying
defendant Andrews' summary judgment motion as there was no admissible
evidence that Andrews knew about a substantial risk to plaintiff's safety
and he was entitled to qualified immunity.
