United States Eleventh Circuit

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action claiming that two deputies at a county jail were deliberately indifferent to the serious medical need of plaintiff, a pregnant detainee who had used crack cocaine daily, a denial of summary judgment based on qualified immunity is reversed where plaintiff failed to present sufficient evidence that defendants disregarded a risk of serious harm by conduct that was more than gross negligence.
