1Opinion of the Court
SMITH, Chief Judge.
Daaron McAdoo appeals the district court's judgment which awarded him only nominal and no punitive damages in this prisoner medical needs case. The district court found that the defendants violated McAdoo's Eighth Amendment rights by their deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs while he was in their custody. However, the court concluded that the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) precludes McAdoo's recovery of compensatory damages because McAdoo failed to meet 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(e) 's physical injury threshold. We reverse in part and affirm in part.
