Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit June 13, 1995, No. 94-3416 (Williams v. Nebraska State Penitentiary)

WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge.

This is a civil rights case brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Jimmie L. Williams asserts that Nebraska prison officials violated his Eighth Amendment rights by disregarding the risk of harm posed by a hostile cellmate who eventually assaulted him. After a five-day jury trial, a verdict was returned for the prison officials. We affirm.
