Abernathy v. Anderson, No. 19-1880 (1st Cir. 2020)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the order of the district court granting summary judgment on Plaintiff's deliberate indifference claim brought under 42 U.S.C. 1983 against Krystal Anderson, a nurse at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center (SBCC), where Plaintiff was an inmate, holding that the district court correctly granted summary judgment for Anderson.
In his complaint, Plaintiff alleged that Anderson's failure to assess and treat his alleged medical needs, as well as her refusal to administer his medication, caused him physical pain, fear, and anxiety. The district court granted summary judgment for Anderson on all claims. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that Plaintiff failed to establish a triable issue that he had a serious medical need to which Anderson was indifferent.
