A panel of the Ninth Circuit held that the “objective indifference” standard applies to inadequate medical care claims brought by pre-trial detainees.  CSAC has filed a brief in support of Orange County’s petition for rehearing en banc, arguing that the panel failed to apply binding precedent, and that the holding essentially converts a constitutional claim into a standard claim for malpractice.  CSAC’s brief was drafted by Lee Roistacher at Daley & Heft in Solana Beach.
