053441P.pdf   06/03/2009  Luis A. Serna  v.  Kevin Goodno
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3441
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Bowman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. Under the specific facts of the case the searches
   made by the treatment facility staff made were not unreasonable; the
   defendants' security and treatment concerns were genuine and serious,
   and the visual body-cavity searches, while invasive, were conducted
   privately, safely, professionally, and in response to a recurring problem;
   the searches, while at the outer reach of what is constitutionally
   permitted, were not a violation of plaintiff's civil rights.
