3 Citing cases

  1. Gillard v. Rosati

    Civil Action No. 9:08-CV-1104 (LEK/DEP) (N.D.N.Y. Aug. 22, 2011)   Cited 5 times

    It is well-established that without more, "mere receipt of letters from an inmate by a [supervisory official] regarding a medical claim is insufficient to constitute personal liability." Gonzales v. Wright, No. 9:06-CV-1424 (JMH), 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15953, at *28, 2010 WL 681323, at *10 (N.D.N.Y. Feb. 22, 2010) (Hood, J.) (citations omitted); see also Booker v. Doe, No. 9:06-CV-73 (GLS), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 76413, at *22, 2008 WL 4527601, at *7 (N.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2008) (Sharpe, J.) ("It is now well-settled that the failure of a supervisory official to investigate a letter of protest written by an inmate is not sufficient to show personal involvement.").

  2. Johnson v. Enu

    No. 08-CV-158 (FJS/DRH) (N.D.N.Y. Jul. 13, 2011)   Cited 20 times
    Noting that Boddie "dismissed as inadequate a prisoner's claim that a female corrections officer made a possible pass at him, squeezed his hand, touche[d] his penis called him a 'sexy black devil,' pressed her breasts against his chest, and pushed her vagina against his penis" (citing Boddie, 105 F.3d at 859-61)

    Further, even if Johnson alleged unconstitutional conduct in these letters, the "mere receipt of letters from an inmate by a [supervisory official] regarding [unconstitutional conduct] is insufficient to constitute personal liability." Gonzales v. Wright, No. 9:06-CV-1424 (JMH), 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15953, at *28, 2010 WL 681323, at *10 (N.D.N.Y. Feb. 22, 2010) (citations omitted); see also Booker v. Doe, No. 9:06-CV-73 (GLS), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 76413, at *22, 2008 WL 4527601, at *7 (N.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2008) ("It is now well-settled that the failure of a supervisory official to investigate a letter of protest written by an inmate is not sufficient to show personal involvement.").

  3. Tafari v. McCarthy

    9:07-CV-0654 (DNH/GHL) (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 31, 2010)   Cited 1 times

    This court has previously noted the well-settled principle "that the failure of a supervisory official to investigate a letter of protest written by an inmate is not sufficient to show personal involvement . . . [t]he same is true if the only involvement of the supervisory official is to refer the inmate's complaint to the appropriate staff for investigation." Booker v. Doe, No. 9:06-CV-73, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 76413, 2008 WL 4527601, at *22 (N.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2008) (citations omitted). The only connection between Plaintiff's deprivation and Defendant Miller is that Plaintiff filed a grievance complaining that he was not being provided with Kosher meals which Defendant Miller referred to the Deputy Superintendent.
