073676P.pdf 01/09/2009 Vernon Bonner v. T. C. Outlaw
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3676
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with John R. Gibson and Smith, Circuit
Judges]
Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. For the court's first opinion in the
matter, see Bonner v. Fed. Bur. of Prisons, 196 F.App'x 447 (8th Cir.
2008). District court did not err in denying defendant Bonner's motion for
summary judgment based on qualified immunity on the question of
whether Bonner violated prisoner's procedural due process rights by
failing to notify him that his incoming mail had been returned, as Bonner
had fair warning that the Procunier case applied to all forms of
correspondence and a reasonable official would have understood that
failing to notify the prisoner that his packages were rejected violated a
constitutional right.
