173786P.pdf   11/27/2018  Timothy Barr  v.  Rebecca Pearson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3786
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge] 
   Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. This opinion is issued by a 
   two-judge panel pursuant to 8th Cir. R. 47E. Viewing the record in the 
   light most favorable to plaintiff, defendants' decision to halt 
   plaintiff's Avonex injections did not rise to a level akin to criminal 
   recklessness; assuming plaintiff did not refuse the injections, he 
   complained about the side effects of the drug and it was well within the 
   defendant's independent medical judgment to discontinue the treatment; 
   further, defendants continued to provide medical care after the injections 
   were halted and no rational trier of facts could find that defendants were 
   deliberately indifferent.
