Terrance D. Hood v. Ron Neal

Summary

The court denied Terrance D. Hood’s motion for a preliminary injunction seeking Ensure nutritional drinks and medical treatment related to his heart and pacemaker. The court held that Hood had not shown that denial of Ensure constituted constitutionally inadequate medical care or that he would suffer irreparable harm. The court also stayed the case pending screening of Hood’s amended complaint.
