U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1046
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Murphy, Circuit
Judge]
Prisoner case - Prisoner Civil Rights. Plaintiffs' challenge to the
laundry policy at the Cole County Detention Center which leaves pretrial
detainees naked, with only a sheet and a blanket for cover, every four
nights for women and every two-to-three nights for men, alleges more than
de minimis deprivation that is not related to a legitimate governmental
purpose, and the district court erred in dismissing their complaint;
because the district court based its qualified-immunity ruling on the
perceived lack of a constitutional violation, that ruling is also
reversed. Judge Murphy, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
