222582P.pdf   08/15/2023  Carlos Hall, Sr.  v.  Eric Higgins
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2582
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Gruender and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff alleged the defendant sheriff was deliberately indifferent to his medical needs and that he suffered unconstitutional conditions of confinement and disability discrimination while he was held in pretrial custody at the Pulaski County jail. On this record, no reasonable jury could find the jail deliberately disregarded plaintiff's serious medical needs, and without a constitutional violation, plaintiff's deliberate indifference claim fails; plaintiff's claim for unconstitutional conditions of confinement fails because he had not presented evidence of any official policy that restricts care to disabled inmates, and the pattern of behavior was not so pervasive or widespread as to establish an unofficial custom to deny such care; however, plaintiff has raised a genuine issue of fact with respect to whether the jail accommodated his access to toilet and bed access or denied him the same benefits as non-disabled detainees; the district court erred in granting defendant summary judgment on plaintiff's disability discrimination claim, and the matter is remanded for further proceedings on this claim.
