192621P.pdf   01/26/2021  Donald East  v.  Minnehaha County
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2621
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Shepherd, and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. No error in dismissing case against physician assistant Adams as the allegations in the complaint failed to state any facts to sustain its conclusory statements; the County, the medical care providers and other staff were properly granted summary judgment on plaintiff's claims of deliberate indifference as the claims amounted to no more than a disagreement with treatment decision which did not approach criminal recklessness; claims regarding threats from guards had not been administratively exhausted and plaintff's argument that he was not required to exhaust because of fear or intimidation failed because he could not show that a reasonable inmate of ordinary firmness would have failed to file a grievance in his situation.
