Description
BOWMAN, Circuit Judge James D. Stenzel brought this lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. ร§ 1983 (1982) seeking damages for alleged Eighth and Fourth Amendment violations as a result of treatment he received at the hands of defendants Jim Ellis, Pat Adams, and Lynn Jacobs, jailers at the Minnehaha County Jail in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The District Court1 granted defendants' motion for summary judgment and entered a final judgment in their favor. Stenzel appeals. We affirm. When reviewing the grant of defendants' motion for summary judgment, we are required to view the evidence in the light most favorable to plaintiff Stenzel, giving him the benefit of all reasonable inferences. We will affirm only if we find no genuine issues of material fact, and can decide the case on legal grounds alone. White v. Farrier, 849 F.2d 322, 325 (8th Cir. 1988). Cognizant of that standard, we recite the following facts that either are uncontested or comport with Stenzel's version of the incidents that precipitated this lawsuit, as recorded in his deposition and affidavit.
