MEMORANDUM OPINION

JACKSON L. KISER, Senior District Judge.

Jonah Jervais Sovereign, a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, naming various staff of the Wallens Ridge State Prison ("WARSP") as defendants. All defendants except R. Saylor were terminated by an earlier memorandum opinion, and presently before me is Saylor's motion for summary judgment.1 After reviewing the record, I find Saylor is entitled to qualified immunity and summary judgment.2

Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that Saylor, a staff psychologist at WARSP, was deliberately indifferent to his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for four months. During that time,

Plaintiff's mother died, which prompted Plaintiff's suicide attempt on January 12, 2015. See, e.g., West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48 (1988); Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 104 (1976); Conner v. Donnelly. 42 F.3d 220, 222 (4th Cir. 1994). Deliberate indifference requires a state actor to have been personally aware of facts indicating a substantial risk of serious harm, and the actor must have actually recognized the existence of such a risk. Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 838 (1994). "Deliberate indifference may be demonstrated by either actual intent or reckless disregard." Miltier v. Beorn, 896 F.2d 848, 851 (4th Cir. 1990); see Parrish ex rel. Lee v. Cleveland, 372 F.3d 294, 303 (4th Cir. 2004) ("[T]he evidence must show that the official in question subjectively recognized that his actions were `inappropriate in light of that risk.'"). "A defendant acts recklessly by disregarding a substantial risk of danger that is either known to the defendant or which would be apparent to a reasonable person in the defendant's position." Miltier, 896 F.2d at 851-52. A health care provider may be deliberately indifferent when the treatment provided is so grossly incompetent, inadequate, or excessive as to shock the conscience or is intolerable to fundamental fairness. Id. at 851.

Plaintiff fails to establish Saylor's deliberate indifference. Saylor was not involved with Plaintiff's mental health care, was not asked to assess Plaintiff, did not receive any request for care from Plaintiff, and had no knowledge that Plaintiff was suicidal before his suicide attempt. Indeed, the documentation in Plaintiff's mental health file reflects that Plaintiff repeatedly reassured other mental health professionals that he was fine and had denied suicidal ideations. "`In the absence of a previous threat of or an earlier attempt at suicide, we know of no federal court in the nation . . . that has concluded that official conduct in failing to prevent a suicide constitutes deliberate indifference.'" Gordon v. Kidd. 971 F.2d 1087, 1094 (4th Cir. 1992) (quoting Edwards v. Gilbert, 867 F.2d 1271, 1275 (11th Cir. 1989)). Accordingly, Plaintiff has not alleged sufficient facts from which it could be established that Saylor had been deliberately indifferent before the suicide attempt, and Saylor's motion for summary judgment is granted.
