What is the state of the law on deliberate indifference in the context of prison grievance reviews?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Payan v. Tate, No. 1:13-cv-00807 LJO BAM PC (E.D. Cal. 2017):
The allegations concerning defendants' actions in reviewing and/or denying grievance do not typically state a claim of deliberate indifference. See Ramirez v. Galaza, 334 F.3d 850, 861 (9th Cir. 2003) ("Inmates lack a separate constitutional entitlement to a specific prison grievance procedure."). Prison grievance procedure is procedural right that does not give rise to protected liberty interest. Id.
