The following excerpt is from Blamey v. Allen, No. CIV S-10-3470 GEB EFB P (E.D. Cal. 2011):
Nor has petitioner stated a cognizable claim against any defendant for violation of the Eighth Amendment. To state a claim under that provision, a complaint must include allegations showing that (1) the prison official deprived plaintiff of the minimal civilized measure of life's necessities and (2) acted with deliberate indifference in doing so. Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d
