Description
In December 1992, Michael King ("King"), an inmate at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, was assaulted and injured by other inmates in a prison stabbing. In October 1994, King filed a Bivens action against "one unknown federal correctional officer," alleging a violation of his Eighth Amendment rights stemming from the unknown officer's failure both to prevent the attack and to aid King during the attack. See Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).
