U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3416
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Defendant's action in revealing to other
inmates that plaintiff had "snitched" on a prison employee who was
bringing illegal drugs into the prison subjected plaintiff to a
substantial risk of serious harm at the hands of his fellow inmates;
existing case law at the time sufficiently gave defendant fair warning
that his alleged actions violated plaintiff's constitutional rights and he
was not, therefore, entitled to summary judgment based on qualified
immunity on plaintiff's Eighth Amendment claims.
