Ezmerelda Rivera v. Manuel Fierros, Jr.

EDWARD C. PRADO, Circuit Judge:

In December 2014, Appellant Ezmerelda Rivera was sexually assaulted by Manuel Fierros, an officer at the Hale County Jail. Rivera subsequently brought claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Fierros, Hale County Sheriff David Mull, and Hale County Jail Administrator A.J. Bonner. Rivera claimed that Mull and Bonner (collectively, “Appellees”) were deliberately indifferent in hiring Fierros and that they inadequately trained and supervised jail employees. The district court granted summary judgment and dismissed Rivera’s claims against Appellees. We AFFIRM.
