United States First Circuit

In a Section 1983 action alleging a violation of the Due Process Clause for reckless indifference to his medical needs if plaintiff-detainee, judgment of the district court dismissing action is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff failed to exhaust the House of Correction’s grievance procedure for raising his complaints before filing action, and 2) the facts failed to show any action or failure to act by defendant going beyond negligence or malpractice to the point of deliberate indifference to substantial risk of serious harm to health.
