James Owens v. Salvador Godinez
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided June 12, 2017No. 15-3892PublishedCited by 195 opinions
1Per curiam
James Owens, an Illinois state prisoner, brought this suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 because he believes that nearly two dozen prison employees deliberately ignored his medical needs and retaliated against him for filing grievances and lawsuits. He is primarily dissatisfied with the adequacy of the toothpaste, mail supplies, and laundry detergent he received at three different prisons over a six-year period. The district court narrowed the list of defendants at screening, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, and later granted summary judgment for the remaining defendants. We affirm.
