In [name removed] v. Smith County, Texas U.S. Magistrate Judith K. Guthrie dismissed an HIV-infected inmate's suit against prison officials, where he had received less than optimal drug therapy for his disease. Inmate [name removed] received appropriate doses of AZT and 3TC, but initially did not receive Crixivan; when he did receive it, it was at half the dose he took prior to incarceration. Dismissal was based on rulings by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court that inmates suing prison officials, claiming deliberate indifference, must show more than negligence. The judge further dismissed the inmate's claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act, saying that those Federal statutes are not applicable to correctional facilities. This ruling predated the U.S. Supreme Court's finding that prisons are subject to the ADA statutes.
