   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3723
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and Erickson, District Judge] Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. In action alleging defendants were deliberately indifferent to plaintiff's need for dentures, the district court did not err in granting summary judgment to the Director of Corrections and the Medical Director defendants; there was no evidence that the officials were deliberately indifferent to plaintiff's medical need for dental care by failing to address a shortage of dentists in the prison; during the time plaintiff waited for dentures, defendants made regular efforts to hire more dentists and the shortage of dentists was not a product of their conduct and could not be characterized as deliberate indifference on their part.
