UNPUBLISHED ORDER Not to be cited per Circuit Rule 53

United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit Chicago, Illinois 60604

Submitted May 24, 2006 Decided June 5, 2006 Before Hon. RICHARD A. POSNER, Circuit Judge Hon. ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge Hon. TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge No. 05-1560 JOSEPH L. WILLIAMS, Appeal from the United States District Plaintiff-Appellant, Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. v. No. 02 C 247 LARRY BROWN, Defendant-Appellee. Robert L. Miller, Jr., Chief Judge.

ORDER We remanded the dismissal of this prisoner's civil rights case insofar as it charged one of the defendants, Nurse Brown, with reckless disregard of the plaintiff's medical condition (a rectal abscess). On remand, the district judge correctly found that there was no evidence of anything more than honest disagreement over the best way of treating the plaintiff's condition, and therefore the judge granted summary judgment for Brown.

AFFIRMED.
