First Circuit: The court dismissed police officers’ interlocutory appeal of denial of qualified immunity to constitutional claims arising out of decedent’s death during attempt to take him into protective custody, relying on law that a district court’s pretrial rejection of a qualified immunity defense is not immediately appealable to the extent that it turns on either an issue of fact or an issue perceived by the trial court to be an issue of fact
US District Court ME: The court denied motion to dismiss Eighth Amendment failure to address medical needs claim against medical contracting company and its employees for their delay in obtaining new diabetic shoes and treating inmate’s wounds, finding, in part, that municipal liability standard applied to medical contracting company where it contracted to fulfill a governmental responsibility, and there was a sufficient allegation of a broader corporate policy or custom of deferring to correctional policies even when there are severe and predictable consequences for doing so
