Description
ERVIN, Chief Judge: Larry Wade Price, a prisoner who was assaulted by two other inmates at the Wayne County Jail, appeals the dismissal of his § 1983 action against Deputy Sheriff Ted Tadlock. Price alleges that Tadlock violated his Eighth Amendment rights by exhibiting deliberate indifference to a substantial risk of serious harm posed by the threat of assault. Because we agree with the district court that Tadlock is shielded from liability by the defense of qualified immunity, we affirm the grant of summary judgment on that ground.
