Description
RYAN, Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 class action on behalf of all current and future inmates confined at the Lima Correctional Institute (LCI), an Ohio state prison. Plaintiffs accused the defendants of inflicting cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment by failing to provide the plaintiffs with adequate medical care. After a bench trial before a magistrate acting as a special master, the district court entered judgment for defendants. Plaintiffs appealed, but this court dismissed plaintiffs' appeal for lack of jurisdiction due to their defective notice of appeal. 16 F.3d 104 (6th Cir. 1994). However, we now vacate that decision and address the case on the merits. We shall affirm in part, but also remand for further factfinding.
