PHILADELPHIA – A per curiam panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has agreed with a lower court that corrections officers and administrators did not deny a state prisoner access to doctor-ordered treatment.
On May 27, Third Circuit judges Thomas L. Ambro, Patty Shwartz and David J. Porter
affirmed the dismissal in favor of Timothy Miller, CCPM/PCM; Heather Haldeman, Major of the Guard for Unit Management; Richard Ellers, Correctional Health Care Administrator and Mark Garman, Facility Manager/Superintendent, and against plaintiff Thomas Flick.
“Flick is a Pennsylvania state prisoner who was housed at State Correctional Institute Rockview. In October 2019, Flick filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983, alleging Eighth Amendment violations against defendants. Flick has gender dysphoria, and alleged in his complaint that defendants denied him access to doctor-ordered treatment to address excessive body hair. Flick seeks damages and injunctive relief,” the Third Circuit said.
