Court Appealed: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Covington

McKEAGUE, Circuit Judge. After arriving at Boone County Detention Center following his arrest, plaintiff Charles Stein was badly beaten by a fellow detainee, Jordan Webster. He brings this suit against Sergeant Gunkel and Deputy Sterling, two jail officers who were involved in determining the appropriate booking classification for Jordan Webster. Stein alleges that Gunkel and Sterling were deliberately indifferent to the excessive risk Webster posed to other detainees and thereby caused his injuries. The district court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment. We AFFIRM.
