Maldonado v. County Of Cook · filed 2021-02-08

Mohammed v. Naperville 203 Comm. District · filed 2021-02-08

Fourstar v. McQueen · filed 2021-02-08

BRYANT v. FITZGERALD · filed 2021-02-08

Individual liability under § 1983 requires personal involvement in the alleged constitutional violation; notice of a grievance alone does not establish that involvement.

Parker v. Allbaugh · filed 2021-02-09

It is well-settled in this circuit that the denial of a grievance does not adequately establish personal participation. Stewart, 701 F.3d at 1328. And here, Defendant was even more removed from any alleged constitutional violations because, as Plaintiff recognized, Defendant did not personally deny the grievance appeal. Thus, Plaintiff failed to state a plausible § 1983 claim against Defendant.

Grommet v. Aramark · filed 2021-02-10

Village of Oak Park, 430 F.3d 809, 810 (7th Cir.2005) (citations omitted). ...

Section 1983 requires a causal link between a defendant’s conduct and the alleged deprivation of rights.

Engel v. CO1 · filed 2021-02-11

Hand v. Arentz · filed 2021-02-11

She ordered all appointments and care authorized by the healthcare providers while Plaintiff was at SCI Camp Hill, and she had no personal involvement in the decision not to authorize the two follow up appointments that Plaintiff did not receive and, apparently, concludes that he should have.

Section 1983 requires a defendant’s personal involvement; receiving a plaintiff’s letter and directing someone to respond is insufficient to state a claim against that defendant.

McCrary v. Marks · filed 2021-02-12

We further conclude that McCrary failed to allege Marks’s personal involvement. See Tangreti v. Bachmann, 983 F.3d 609, 618–19 (2d Cir. 2020) (explaining the standard for supervisory liability). Drawing all inferences in McCrary’s favor, the most he has alleged is that Marks received his letter and directed someone at the TVPA to respond to it. That is clearly not enough to state a claim against Marks. See id.

Section 1983 requires an affirmative connection between a defendant’s actions and the claimed deprivation.

As such, § 1983 liability “requires a causal link to, and direct responsibility for, the deprivation of rights.” Mayorga v. Missouri, 442 F.3d 1128, 1132 (8th Cir. 2006).

(PC) Bryant v. Duncan · filed 2021-02-17

SHORT v. HARTMAN · filed 2021-02-17

JiRau v. Cook · filed 2021-02-19

Because Plaintiff’s allegations fail to indicate Commissioner Cook had any direct personal involvement in a Fourteenth Amendment violation based on the failure to provide ladders for the BCC bunks, the Court will dismiss the Fourteenth Amendment claim for damages against Commissioner Cook.

Smith v. Capt. Booth · filed 2021-02-23
