Hines v. Wixford Health Source Inc. et al (15-cv-22472-KMM) Posted 01/08/2024

Plaintiff Jackie J. Hines filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 asserting Eighth Amendment claims for deliberate indifference to a serious medical need, and state medical malpractice claims, in relation to medical treatment he received while incarcerated in state custody. Plaintiff has since been released from prison. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has affirmed the entry of summary judgment as to Plaintiff’s claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case has been remanded with respect to Plaintiff’s state law medical malpractice claims, with instructions “to determine whether Hines conducted a reasonable investigation and had ‘grounds for a good faith belief that there ha[d] been negligence in [his] care or treatment,’ Fla. Stat. § 766.104(1).” Plaintiff has sought representation in that respect. A briefing schedule has been set with respect to the issue on remand. A hearing has been set for February 26, 2024.
