Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Frost v. Agnos's subjective standard for a pretrial detainee's inadequate medical care claim was displaced by Gordon v. County of Orange; its other holdings are not addressed by that ruling. All 35 flagged citations have been read.
More on how this was screened

The District of Montana later identified Frost as the source of the parties' proposed older standard and applied Gordon's objective standard instead in Estate of Daniel Keith Ross v. Gallatin County. The Ninth Circuit's controlling change is listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

35 later cases cite Frost v. Agnos; 35 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

    Accordingly, we hold that claims for violations of the right to adequate medical care “brought by pretrial detainees against individual defendants under the Fourteenth Amendment” must be evaluated under an objective deliberate indifference standard.
