United States Eleventh Circuit

In civil rights action involving defendant county jail's procedures for processing court orders relating to inmates, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where the record does not show that defendants were deliberately indifferent to plaintiffs' right to be released as ordered. Instead, the evidence indicates that the errors that led to plaintiffs' over-detentions were caused by the nonsupervisory defendants' unfortunate lapses, which were mainly caused by the cuts in staff and budget for the jail.
