141571P.pdf   06/16/2015  Jimmy Letterman  v.  Jerry Farnsworth
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1571
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken and Murphy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff's decedent who struck his head and 
   suffered a fatal subdural hematoma while locked in a padded cell in the 
   Missouri Western Reception, Diagnostic and Correction Center was at risk 
   of suffering serious harm without medical attention, and a reasonable 
   person in defendants Farnsworth's and Earls's position would have 
   recognized a substantial risk of harm; defendants acted inappropriately in 
   light of the risk by failing to summon medical care and were not entitled 
   to summary judgment based on qualified immunity; defendant Jennings took 
   steps to abate the prisoner's situation, and while the actions might be 
   considered insufficient or even negligent, she was not deliberately 
   indifferent to his condition and was entitled to qualified immunity.
