Dr. James Cane,et a!.. Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION Alvon Bennett, a former inmate at Henrico County Jail, has sued two medical providers at the jail. Dr. James Cane and Nurse Practitioner(NP)Inna Tarasova, claiming that they provided constitutionally deficient medical care. See 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983. Defendants each move for summary Judgment.[Doc. Nos. 22, 28]. Bennett has received the notice required by Local Civil Rule 7(K)and Roseboro v. Garrison. 528 F.2d 309(4th Cir. 1975), and has filed nothing in response.[Id]. Because the undisputed evidence demonstrates that defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter oflaw, the Court will grant defendants' motions for summary judgment. I. Background AJ The Amended Complaint Bennett filed an unverified, amended complaint claiming that Dr. Cane and NP Tarasova acted with deliberate indifference to two ongoing needs for medical attention;(1) wrist pain; and (2)a lipoma on his left hip.

No. 9, Amended Compl.]. According to Bennett, the jail's intake nurse ignored his affliction. Then, Bennett alleges, he placed a sick-call request "[ajfter a night of intense pain," but he was not seen for another four Dockets.Justia.com Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 2 of 9 PageID# 385 Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 3 of 9 PageID# 386 Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 4 of 9 PageID# 387 Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 5 of 9 PageID# 388 Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 6 of 9 PageID# 389 Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 7 of 9 PageID# 390 Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 8 of 9 PageID# 391 Case 1:20-cv-00056-AJT-JFA Document 30 Filed 02/02/22 Page 9 of 9 PageID# 392
