Stanley Donald v. Carol Mici, Individually and as former Commissioner, Massachusetts Department of Correction, et al.
IFP petition · Appeals Court of Massachusetts, No. 2024-P-0297 · judgment September 30, 2025
Certiorari denied · April 20, 2026
Question presented
Did the inmate state an actionable claim under the Federal Constitution’s 8th Amendment when prison officials deliberately exposed him to COVID-19 and then denied him emergency medical treatment? Is the State Court decision in conflict with a relevant decision of U.S. Supreme Court holdings in the case of Helling K McKinney, 113 S. Ct. 2475 (1993)? Did the State Court error when it denied inmate to amend his complaint to include those who denied him emergency medical treatment?
