U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1134
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. In an action to impose municipal liability
under Section 1983 after a jail operated by the County failed to provide
plaintiff with his anti-seizure medication, plaintiff failed to present
evidence of a continuing, widespread, persistent pattern of
unconstitutional misconduct; while plaintiff made multiple requests for
the medication, all of the requests were within the space of a few hours,
and there was no evidence to suggest that policy making officials would
have received notice of the incidents and made a deliberate decision to
ignore or tacitly authorize denial of the medications.
