BOWERS v. LIVINGSTON COUNTY - June 6, 2011..
Plaintiffs Mark Bowers and Gerald Renaud contracted methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections while they were inmates in the Livingston County jail awaiting trial. Each received proper treatment, and neither suffered long-term harm from the infections. But they sued the county and the jail supervisor (the Sheriff) under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 anyway, claiming that the defendants unconstitutionally failed to protect them from MRSA. The defendants moved for summary judgment, which the district court granted. We review that decision de novo. See Dowling v. Cleveland Clinic Found., 593 F.3d 472, 476 (6th Cir. 2010).
