The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a split ruling in a case brought by a Maine jail inmate claiming an Eighth Amendment violation over being denied HIV drugs for 22 months. The court ruled that his claims against a physician’s assistant under contract to the York County Jail could move forward, but it affirmed a summary judgment ruling in favor of a medical services company and four of its employees.
On June 29, a unanimous panel affirmed all but one summary judgment ruling in favor of the defendants issued by Chief Judge John Woodcock Jr. of the District of Maine in March 2010.
