Description
Dwayne Walker was a prisoner who suffered from a variety of serious illnesses. He sued a number of prison officials and doctors for violating his Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, claiming these various individuals were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, finding that, at most, Walker's complaints amounted to a malpractice action and not a constitutional deprivation. We affirm.
