Glenn D. Chupp v. Centurion Health and Grant

Summary

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana dismissed Glenn D. Chupp’s amended prisoner complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A for failure to state a claim. The court held that the allegations concerning medication, disciplinary write-ups, Centurion Health, and Mr. Grant did not plausibly establish that either defendant violated Chupp’s rights.

Holdings

1. The amended complaint failed to state a claim because it did not allege sufficient facts from which it could plausibly be inferred that either defendant violated Chupp's rights.
2. Dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A was proper because the amended complaint still failed to state a claim after Chupp had been given an opportunity to correct the deficiencies in his original complaint.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the amended prisoner complaint stated a plausible claim for relief against Centurion Health and Grant.
2. Whether dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A was proper after the plaintiff had already been given an opportunity to amend.

Disposition
