Cagle v. Sutherland

PUBLISH This case arises from a suicide at a jail. Cynthia Cagle, on behalf of the estate of her brother Danny Ray Butler, filed this section 1983 action against Winston County, the County Commission (collectively "" Winston County"" or ""the C county""), and various county officials in their individual capacities. Defendants moved for summary judgment. The district court denied summary judgment to Winston C county, Sheriff David Sutherland and Jailer Allen Cole but granted it to the other defendants. Winston County, Sheriff Sutherland, and Jailer Cole appeal.2 Because none of de fendants ac ted with deliberate indifference to Butler's constitutional rights, we vacate the denial of summary judgment and remand w ith instructions to grant summary judgment to the defendants.
