E.D.Pa.: Exposure to Covid-19 in prison doesn’t state a 4A or 8A claim

Exposure to Covid-19 in prison didn’t state a Fourth or Eighth Amendment claim. Dingle v. Tommage, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 124710 (E.D. Pa. July 16, 2024).

Defendant was driving with a suspended license, and WVSP protocol dictated impoundment of the car. The inventory led to the finding of meth, and that justified a full search under the automobile exception. United States v. DeSantis, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 17421 (4th Cir. July 16, 2024).*

A reasonable jury could conclude excessive force was used and that defendant violated clearly established rights. Selto v. Cty. of Clark, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 17390 (9th Cir. July 16, 2024).*

2254 petitioner’s Fourth Amendment claim is barred by Stone. Alcantara v. Warden of McCormick Corr. Inst., 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 124014 (D.S.C. July 15, 2024).*
