Supreme Court of Delaware

Johnson v. Connections Community Support Programs, Inc.

October 16, 2018

Summary

The court held that the complaint adequately stated a deliberate-indifference claim against Connections Community Support Programs and Jami Jones based on alleged failures to arrange treatment for severe sleep apnea for nearly a year, despite favorable medical-grievance decisions. It affirmed dismissal as to the four individual nurses because the allegations did not establish the required culpable state of mind, but reversed dismissal as to CCSP and Jones and remanded for further proceedings.
