Troyanos v. Coats
Petition for certiorari denied on February 21, 2012
Issue: (1) Whether an inmate, consistent with this Court’s decision in Farmer v. Brennan, may maintain a Section 1983 claim by alleging that an official had knowledge of a substantial risk of serious harm without alleging that the official had knowledge of the specific harm suffered; (2) Whether a uniform standard be established to allow an inmate to properly maintain a Section 1983 claim for failure to train even if liability cannot be ascribed to a single, individual officer; and (3) whether the subjective recklessness standard for claims brought by prisoners under the Eighth Amendment applies equally to claims brought by detainees under the Fourteenth Amendment?
