Manzanillo

AMENDED ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Plaintiff Raymond Manzanillo, an inmate at Pelican Bay Prison, was stabbed by another inmate when a guard left his cell door open. Manzanillo alleges that the guard knew that an attack was likely and that he left the door open in retaliation for Manzanillo having filed a prior lawsuit concerning the prison.

Defendants now move for summary judgment, arguing that (1) Defendant Brown, the guard who left Manzanillo’s door open, was not deliberately indifferent to the risk to Manzanillo’s safety; (2) the training Brown received was adequate, and that even if it was not, the remaining defendants were unaware of any deficiencies in that training; and (3) in any event, all defendants are entitled to qualified immunity. ECF No. 204, 206.

For the reasons set forth below, the Court will deny the motions.
