Kelly Mikkelsen died on October 11, 2001. Kelly was being held at the Yuma County Detention Center, and was on work release status on the date of his death. Defendant CHR is a corporation that had a contract to provide health care and medical services to inmates at the Yuma County Detention Center. Defendant Ken Faiver was the President of CHR, and was responsible for CHR's overall operations, including its contract with the Yuma County Sheriff's Office. Defendant Dr. Joseph Rich was CHR's Medical Director. CHR admits Nurse Bragan, Nurse Kinsley and Ofel Diaz were its employees acting within the course and scope of their employment with CHR for purposes of Plaintiffs' state law claims during the evening of October 11, 2001 while at the jail. CHR further admits Defendants Ken Faiver and Dr. Rich were at all times relevant to this complaint acting within the course and scope of their employment with CHR for purposes of Plaintiffs' state law claims. While CHR does not admit Plaintiffs have a valid claim for alleged violation of Kelly Mikkelsen's Eighth Amendment rights, in an abundance of caution, CHR further admits Defendants Ken Faiver and Dr. Rich were official policymakers for CHR for purposes of federal claims. CHR further admits that CHR, Defendants Ken Faiver and Dr. Rich were acting under color of state law for purposes of Plaintiffs' federal claims. DATED this 17th day of October, 2005.
