Liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is based on personal involvement, Mitchell v. Kallas, 895 F.3d 492 (7th Cir. 2018), and Mr. Harrison’s general references to actions taken by “law enforcement” or “police” are not sufficient to put each defendant on notice of how he or she allegedly violated Mr. Harrison’s constitutional rights.

Jones v. Diaz · filed 2022-04-05

In addition, the warden’s participation in the after-the-fact review of grievances or letters is not enough to establish personal involvement as required for claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Here, the only FAC allegations relating to Officer Wood’s involvement are that he was working on September 17 and took custody of Faulk’s bicycle that was lying in the street at the time of Faulk’s arrest.

Section 1983 requires personal involvement by an individual defendant; claims against unidentified defendants cannot proceed at summary judgment without that showing.

Estate of Shannon J. Payne, by its Special Administrator, Christopher Meisel v. Dane County · filed 2022-04-11

Because 42 U.S.C. § 1983 necessarily requires a showing of personal involvement, see Minix v. Canarecci, 597 F.3d 824, 833 (7th Cir. 2010), plaintiff can no longer pursue its claims generally against unidentified “defendants,” as it is apparently attempting to do in its opposition brief on summary judgment, which is the “put up or shut up” time for any party with the burden of proof.

Section 1983 requires a defendant’s personal involvement in the alleged violation; liability cannot rest solely on supervisory status.

Washington v. San Mateo County Board of Supervisors · filed 2022-04-11

Section 1983 does not impose liability solely because a person supervises others; the person must be personally involved in the alleged violation.

Averkamp v. Dixon · filed 2022-04-11

Section 1983 liability cannot be premised on a theory of respondeat superior. Kinslow v. Pullara, 538 F.3d 687 (7th Cir. 2008). Thus, Elazegui cannot be held liable for any alleged mistreatment purely by virtue of being Sheridan’s medical director.

A Section 1983 claim requires allegations that each defendant was personally involved in the constitutional deprivation.

Davenport v. Wills · filed 2022-04-11

Section 1983 permits a claim against a defendant whose alleged personal involvement in a constitutional violation is sufficiently pleaded.

Schlemm, David v. Carr, Kevin · filed 2022-04-13

As for Block, the court previously dismissed her as a defendant for lack of personal involvement. Now Schlemm alleges Block apparently made no effort to follow up about Schlemm’s neurology consult. Construing this allegation generously, her failure to ensure that Schlemm’s neurology appointment was reset after he missed it might suggest that she consciously disregarded his need for that off-site appointment. Therefore, the court will grant him leave to proceed against Block as well, on both Eighth Amendment deliberate indifference and negligence claims.

Section 1983 requires a plaintiff to connect each individual defendant to an alleged constitutional violation.

Koogler v. Vandergriff · filed 2022-04-13

Brown v. Toney · filed 2022-04-14

Section 1983 limits liability to individuals who are personally responsible for a constitutional violation. ... Brown cannot proceed with his claims against Cromwell, Hoch, and McHugh. Brown alleges no facts at all about Cromwell. His role as a supervisor at RGCI, alone, does not make him responsible for the actions of others.

Section 1983 requires facts connecting a particular defendant’s acts or omissions to the alleged constitutional harm.

Frantz v. State of Kansas · filed 2022-04-14

Suffice to say that perhaps the SAC’s most notable shortcoming is a complete lack of facts, that is acts or omissions of a particular Defendant, suggesting harm amounting to deliberate indifference to her serious medical needs or a denial of due process.

Section 1983 requires allegations connecting each defendant to the claimed violation; naming supervisors without alleging conduct attributable to them does not state a claim.

WHITE v. GONZALES · filed 2022-04-14

Other than list them in the caption and the list of Defendants, White never mentions Director Janine Donate, and Warden Kyle Russel and makes no allegations that could be inferred to apply to them. For this reason, the claims against them are not plausible and will be dismissed without prejudice.

Truett, Jr. v. Bechtold · filed 2022-04-20

Jones, Leroy v. Foster, Brian · filed 2022-04-21

(PC) Walker v. Newsom · filed 2022-04-21

To the extent plaintiff is attempting to make any claims for constitutional violations by these defendants, such claims similarly fail because there can be no liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 unless there is some affirmative link or connection between a defendant’s actions and the claimed deprivation, Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362, 371, 376 (1976); May v. Enomoto, 633 F.2d 164, 167 (9th Cir. 1980), and plaintiff has not alleged any facts showing the necessary personal involvement by any of these defendants.

Section 1983 requires individual responsibility; general allegations about a defendant’s job duties do not establish personal involvement.

McRae v. Myers · filed 2022-04-21

Section 1983 liability is premised on individual responsibility, so generic allegations about the defendants’ job duties are not sufficient to state claims against these parties.

Section 1983 requires a supervisor’s personal participation in the alleged constitutional violation; denying a grievance alone does not establish it.

JOHNSON v. LAPPE · filed 2022-04-22

He has not alleged facts demonstrating Nathan Watson's personal involvement in the excessive force incident beyond that he approved the inmates using the cleaning solution earlier in the week. This involvement is too attenuated. See Williams v. Shah, 927 F.3d 476, 482 (7th Cir. 2019) (a defendant cannot be held liable under § 1983 unless he had some personal involvement in the alleged deprivation).

The County argues Does 2—5 should be dismissed because there are no allegations the Complaint relating to them. In response, Plaintiffs concede there are no facts supporting the causes of action against Does 2—5, but argue dismissal would be premature because the extent of their involvement is not known. (Opp’n 19:16—20.) The lack of factual support is not a basis for avoiding dismissal.

Danner v. Doe 1 · filed 2022-05-03

Individual liability in a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case is personal. ... In any event, plaintiff makes no effort to establish a causal link between any individual and the violation of his constitutional rights. That is to say, he treats all the defendants as a single group, without any factual allegations describing what each particular person did or did not do to harm him. This is not sufficient to assert each defendant’s personal responsibility for harming him. Therefore, for this reason as well, plaintiff’s individual capacity claims must be dismissed.

Section 1983 claims against a defendant fail when the complaint alleges no facts about that defendant’s conduct.

Aguilera v. City of Las Cruces · filed 2022-05-03

Williams v. Clark · filed 2022-05-04

We agree with the District Court’s assessment that Williams failed to state an Eighth Amendment claim against defendants Clark, Ennis, Jones, Varner, and Moore. As the District Court noted, Williams either failed to allege any personal involvement on the part of these defendants or alleged only supervisory authority and/or participation in the grievance process. Such allegations are insufficient to establish the personal involvement necessary to state a claim of deliberate indifference.

As the Court stated in the 2021 Opinion, “[i]t is well settled that, in order to establish a defendant’s individual liability in a suit brought under § 1983, a plaintiff must show the defendant’s personal involvement in the alleged constitutional deprivation.” ... “Here, Lurch’s involvement is even more attenuated from the alleged constitutional violation: She merely reported suspicious activity that led to the filing of a misbehavior report.
