By: Derek Hawkins//August 13, 2019//
Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Charles Donelson v. Darrise Hardy, et al.
Case No.: 18-2739
Officials: KANNE, BARRETT, and BRENNAN, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sanctions – Bad Faith
Charles Donelson sued a nurse and Wexford Health Sources, Inc., for allegedly providing him with constitutionally deficient medical care in prison and retaliating against him for filing other lawsuits. After the district court decided that he obstructed discovery in bad faith, it dismissed his suit as a sanction. The district court responded reasonably to Donelson’s insubordination, so we affirm.
