IFMK Attorneys Obtain Summary Judgment on Conditions of Confinement Claim in Central Illinois
IFMK Law Shareholder Bhairav Radia and Senior Associates Joe Bracey and Kyle Moore obtained summary judgment in favor of a county jail administrator and county jail Chief of Operations. The plaintiff alleged that the county jail had black mold that caused him to suffer adverse physical side effects. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois found that the plaintiff failed to offer any evidence that he suffered any injury as a result of the alleged conditions, that the conditions were not objectively serious, and that defendants’ actions or inactions were neither reckless nor objectively unreasonable.
