Phillip v. Scinto
Petition for certiorari denied on November 13, 2017
Issue: (1) Whether, when a prison official declines to administer to a hostile inmate a single dose of insulin in favor of monitoring blood sugar, a general "right to adequate medical care and freedom from deliberate indifference to medical needs" is sufficiently particularized to preclude qualified immunity on these facts; and (2) whether, when prison officials place the same inmate in administrative detention after he disrupts prison function by reporting a health emergency later determined not to be life-threatening, a general "right to adequate medical care and freedom from deliberate indifference to medical needs" is sufficiently particularized to preclude qualified immunity.
