The following excerpt is from Martin v. Yates, No. CV 1-08-01401-CKJ (E.D. Cal. 2012):
Rhodes v. Chapman, 452 U.S. 337, 346 (1981). Only deprivations denying the minimal civilized measure of life's necessities are sufficiently grave for an Eighth Amendment violation. Johnson v. Lewis, 217 F.3d 726, 731 (9th Cir. 2000) (quotation omitted). These are "deprivations of essential food, medical care, or sanitation" or "other conditions intolerable for prison confinement." Rhodes, 452 U.S. at 348.
