Summary

A court ruled that prison officials did not break the Eighth Amendment or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when they stopped an inmate's Suboxone treatment. This decision came after officials suspected the inmate was misusing the medication. However, the court did send back a part of the case about a state-law negligence claim, meaning it needs to be looked at again.

Summary

A court looked at a case about a person in prison. This person was taking a medicine called Suboxone. Prison workers stopped giving the person this medicine. They thought the person was not using the medicine correctly.

The court said the prison workers did not break two big rules. These rules are about treating people fairly and helping people with health needs.

But the court also said another part of the case needs to be looked at again. This part is about whether the prison workers were careless. The court sent this part of the case back to a lower court to decide.
