No. 07-1600 Austin v. Secure Care, Inc., et al. of Gilhouse's Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Plaintiff claims that defendants' deliberate indifference to Gilhouse's serious medical needs resulted in Gilhouse's death from an asthma attack. After reviewing the record, the parties' briefs, and the applicable law, and hearing oral argument, this court determines that no jurisprudential purpose would be served by a panel opinion and affirms the district court's decision for the reasons stated in Judge Edmunds' April 24, 2007, opinion and order. The district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of all remaining defendants. The judgment of the district court is therefore affirmed.
