Neuman-Sample v. County of L.A. CA2/5
Plaintiff and appellant Malcolm Neuman-Sample (plaintiff) brought suit against the State of California alleging correctional officers denied his requests for a usable walker, which he needed due to recent brain surgery in order to move around the prison facility where he was incarcerated. He asserted the employees’ conduct violated Government Code section 845.6, which imposes liability when a public employee knows or has reason to know that a prisoner has a serious and obvious medical condition requiring immediate medical care and fails to take reasonable action to summon such care.
