The following excerpt is from Johnson v. Cal. Med. Facility, No. 2:15-cv-1609 DB P (E.D. Cal. 2017):
Prison officials violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment when they deny humane conditions of confinement with deliberate indifference. Farmer, 511 U.S. at 832. To state a claim for such an Eighth Amendment violation, an inmate must show both objective and subjective components. Clement v. Gomez, 298 F.3d 898, 904 (9th Cir. 2002).
