Demetrias Taylor, as representative of Iretha Jean Lilly’s estate, Terrance Hamilton, and Terrance Lamont Hamilton, as next friend and father of I.H., (collectively, Plaintiffs) filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, asserting that McLennan County subjected Lilly to unconstitutional conditions of confinement, and Nurses Desera Roberts and Kimberly Riendfliesch failed to provide Lilly with constitutionally adequate medical care. Plaintiffs later filed an amended complaint raising claims against Dr. John Wells for failing to provide Lilly with constitutionally adequate medical care and failure to supervise. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants on each claim. After carefully reviewing the briefs, record, and oral argument, we affirm for essentially the reasons stated by the district court in its October 2 and December 3, 2018, orders.1
AFFIRMED.
