Peralta v. Dillard
Petition for certiorari denied on January 12, 2015
Issue: (1) Whether prison officials sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for violating the Eighth Amendment may evade a finding of deliberate indifference by raising the defense that state-imposed budgetary constraints prevented the provision of constitutionally adequate medical care; and (2) whether the Eighth Amendment supports a distinction between the subjective element required for a finding of deliberate indifference in a claim for injunctive relief, and that required for an award of damages.
