Cooper v. Torchia
A prisoner at Calipatria State Prison, appeals from a judgment dismissing his civil rights claim after the trial court sustained a demurrer without leave to amend. Appellant sued respondent based on Dr. Torchia's failure to treat Cooper for an infection he suffered in February 2004. Court held appellant failed to allege facts showing Dr. Torchia was deliberately indifferent to appellant's need for treatment so as to support a section 1983 claim. Accordingly, court affirmed the judgment.
