U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3358
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. In action by a civilly-committed person
alleging defendants had deprived him of his constitutional right to
adequate nutrition, the evidence, taken most favorably to plaintiff
demonstrated a violation of his constitutional right to adequate nutrition
and the district court did not err in denying defendants' motion for
summary judgment based on qualified immunity; however, two of the
defendants did not have knowledge of plaintiff's weight loss and the court
erred in denying them summary judgment on plaintiff's claim for deliberate
indifference; plaintiff's right to adequate nutrition was clearly
established.
