7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Travis Delaney Williams v. Simeon Ortiz, et al.

Case No.: 18-1404

Officials: FLAUM, KANNE, and SYKES, Circuit Judges.

Focus: 8^th Amendment Violation – Failure to Exhaust Administrative Remedies

Travis Williams appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of several correctional employees. Williams appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of all defendants. First, he argues that the district court erred when it determined that he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies for his claims against Officers Hernandez and Isferding. Second, Williams argues that the district court erred by granting summary judgment for Dr. Ortiz, Lieutenant Friend, Nurse Olstinske, and Nurse Coe on his deliberate indifference claims. Because he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and because the defendants did not provide him with objectively unreasonable medical care, we affirm.
