Tyrone Ellis Plaintiff - Appellant v. Patrick Drummond, APN, East Arkansas Regional Unit Defendant - Appellee
Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena [Unpublished] Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Tyrone Ellis appeals after the district court adversely granted summary judgment in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs.
The Honorable D. P. Marshall, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Joe J. Volpe, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. --------
Upon careful review, we conclude that summary judgment was appropriately granted, as the record established beyond genuine dispute that Drummond did not disregard Ellis's medical needs. See Fourte v. Faulkner Cty., Ark., 746 F.3d 384, 387 (8th Cir. 2014) (concluding that a deliberate-indifference claim requires showing that defendants actually knew of, but deliberately disregarded, objectively serious medical need); Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir. 2014) (requiring that a grant of summary judgment be reviewed de novo, viewing record in light most favorable to non-moving party). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
