United States Eighth Circuit

Denial of defendants-jail officials' motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity is affirmed in an inmate's civil rights action where a reasonable fact finder could conclude defendants violated his clearly established constitutional rights by disregarding his need for medical care, and no reasonable official could have thought the failure to summon immediate medical help for plaintiff was lawful.
