Brown, et al v. Wichita County, No. 11-10511 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseThis case arose from the death of Jason Ray Brown in the Wichita County Jail while he was a pretrial detainee. Plaintiffs appealed the district court's grant of summary judgment to Wichita County and Dr. Daniel Bolin, the physician in charge of the jail, on plaintiffs' federal civil rights claims. The court held that the district court properly analyzed this case as an episodic acts case. The court also held that the district court did not err in granting summary judgment for Dr. Bolin and Wichita County on the issue of qualified immunity. The record contained no evidence of failure of the system of medical care at the Wichita County Jail that would indicate that the the county or the doctor were deliberately indifferent in maintaining that policy.
