The following excerpt is from Lewis v. United States, No. 1:20-cv-00693-EPG (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2020):
First, the objective standard requires that the alleged deprivation be "sufficiently serious" and, where a failure to prevent harm is alleged, "the inmate must show that he is incarcerated under conditions posing a substantial risk of serious harm." Farmer, 511 U.S. at 834 (quoting Rhodes v. Chapman, 452 U.S. 337, 349 (1981)).
