Heading: Officer Findley

Text: 37 Plaintiff Leitzsey argues that Officer Findley was deliberately indifferent to Leitzsey's serious risk of suicide because Findley had the warrant and booking report, Leitzsey would not talk to Findley when he checked on him, and Findley knew that Leitzsey had an upsetting conversation with his mother. However, neither the arrest warrant nor the booking report indicated that Leitzsey was at risk for suicide. Further, failing to recognize Leitzsey's quiet demeanor or upsetting telephone call as indicators that Leitzsey was at risk for suicide was at most simple negligence. Thus, we conclude that Findley had no reason to suspect that Leitzsey presented a serious risk of suicide and that Findley is entitled to qualified immunity on the claim that he was deliberately indifferent to Leitzsey's risk of suicide.
