Attorney Sam Hall and Attorney Tim Johnson were successful in obtaining summary judgment on behalf of Wisconsin jail corrections officers and supervisors who faced a federal lawsuit after a jail inmate developed MRSA while incarcerated. The plaintiff claimed that the jail officers violated the inmate’s Eighth Amendment constitutional right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. After discovery and briefing on the legal issues, the federal district court granted summary judgment and dismissed all claims against the jail officers and supervisors.
