Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 1:13-CV-2516
Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Jonica Haamid Phillips, Louisiana prisoner # 429550, appeals the
summary judgment dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against
Pamela Horn. He alleged that Horn failed to protect him from an assault by
another prisoner.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
Case: 16-30974 Document: 00514125957 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/22/2017
No. 16-30974
The district court did not err in granting Horn’s motion for summary
judgment. See Hyatt v. Thomas,
843 F.3d 172, 176 (5th Cir. 2016); FED. R. CIV.
P. 56(a). The summary judgment record did not demonstrate a strong
likelihood that Phillips was in danger of physical harm and was therefore
insufficient as a matter of law to support a finding that Horn was deliberately
indifferent. See Carnaby v. City of Houston,
636 F.3d 183, 187 (5th Cir. 2011);
Grissom v. Patterson, Nos. 91-7137, 92-7244,
1993 WL 560256, 3 (5th Cir. Dec.
27, 1993) (unpublished but precedential under 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.3).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
