   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1198
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Benton and Stras, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff, a former pre-trial detainee, alleged the defendants, the jail sheriff and a jailer, acted with deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs by denying him or misadministering various prescription medications; defendants moved for summary judgment based on qualified immunity; their motion was denied, and they appeal. The record demonstrated that plaintiff had serious medical needs and, viewed in the light most favorable to plaintiff's claims, that defendants knew of and disregarded the serious medical needs by either not giving him prescribed drugs or by dispensing them in ways inconsistent with medical direction; second, defendants had fair warning from this circuit's case law that misadministering or failing to provide plaintiff with his prescribed medications violated his constitutional rights, making the rights clearly established; the denial of summary judgment based on qualified immunity is affirmed.
