The district court granted summary judgment in favor of a warden and the inmate appealed. The appeals court reversed and remanded. The appeals court held that summary judgment was precluded by fact issues as to whether the warden knew of the risk presented when the transsexual inmate was housed with an inmate considered to be a predatory inmate, and whether the warden knew of that inmate's status as a predatory inmate. The court noted that the liability of the warden was not precluded by a jury verdict against subordinate officials who were found not liable.
