   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2181
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Gruender and Erickson, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. In action for damages arising out 
   of Hamner's near-seven-month detention in administrative segregation, it 
   was appropriate for this court to consider whether the defendants were 
   entitled to qualified immunity as the posture of the case on appeal has 
   materially changed from when it was before the district court; with 
   respect to Hamner's claim of deliberate indifference to his medical needs 
   while he in administrative segregation, the nine occasions on which he did 
   not receive his daily treatment were insufficient to create an Eighth 
   Amendment claim; with respect to his conditions of confinement claims, 
   this court's prior decisions do not establish that placing a mentally ill 
   person in administrative segregation rises to the level of a 
   constitutional violation, and the officials' conduct in this case did not 
   violate a clearly established right; it is not beyond debate that 
   confinement of a person with Hamner's conditions in administrative 
   segregation for 203 days in the conditions alleged violated a liberty 
   interest, and the prison officials were entitled to qualified immunity. 
   Judge Erickson, concurring.
