The Sixth Circuit recently has restated the standard for imposing supervisory liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983: [T]he § 1983 liability of supervisory personnel must be based on more than the right to control employees. Section 1983 liability will not be imposed solely upon the basis of respondeat superior. There must be a showing that the supervisor encouraged the specific incident of misconduct or in some other way directly participated in it. At a minimum, a § 1983 plaintiff must show that a supervisory official at least implicitly authorized, approved or knowingly acquiesced in the unconstitutional conduct of the offending subordinate. Turner v. City of Taylor, 412 F.3d 629, 643 (6th Cir.2005); see also Mills v. City of Barbourville, 389 F.3d 568, 580 (6th Cir.2004) (<HOLDING>). Supervisory liability, therefore, is premised
holding that individual defendants with supervisory control over plaintiff cannot be held personally liable under title vii holding that because there was no distinction between the damages caused by actions of defendants in a prior case and actions of the defendant in this case the plaintiff suffered a single indivisible injury allowing for one cause of action holding that state officials may be personally liable for actions taken in their official capacity holding that if state law provides multiple statutes of limitations for personal injury actions the general or residual statute for personal injury actions should be used for 1983 actions holding that a defendant supervisory official cannot be liable for an underlings actions unless there is proof that the defendant is personally responsible for the alleged unconstitutional actions that caused his injury
