United States Fifth Circuit


Brown v. Callahan, 09-10843

In an action by a decedent's estate against a sheriff for failure to train and supervise the jail's medical employees and for maintaining an unconstitutional policy of deliberate indifference to detainees' serious medical needs, the denial of summary judgment to defendant-sheriff is reversed where there was insufficient evidence of deliberate indifference or objective unreasonableness.
