What is the test for deprivations in medical care?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Walker v. Kernan, No. 2:17-cv-1764 KJM DB P (E.D. Cal. 2019):

However, plaintiff has not alleged specific facts showing what medical care he was prescribed or how these individuals interfered with his medical treatment. Nor has he stated with specificity when these deprivations occurred. In order to state a claim, plaintiff must state facts sufficient to give the defendant fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests. Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 93 (2007) (citations and quotations omitted).

Accordingly, the facts alleged are not sufficiently specific to state a cognizable claim.
