Rather, a strip search is unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment where it is &#8220;&#8216;excessive, vindictive, harassing, or unrelated to any legitimate penological interest.'&#8221; \u2026 &#8220;Whether a search is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment requires a case-by-case &#8216;balancing of the need for the particular search against the invasion of personal rights that the search entails \u2026.'&#8221; \u2026 In reviewing such a claim, the Court must consider &#8220;&#8216;the scope of the particular intrusion, the manner in which it is conducted, the justification for initiating it, and the place which it is conducted.'&#8221; \u2026<\/p><p>At the pleading stage, Plaintiff&#8217;s allegations suggest that he may be able to state a cognizable claim that the strip search by Defendants Arreazola, Lefner, Clegg, Garcia, Helmuth and Menhenez was unreasonable in violation of the Fourth Amendment because it lacked justification.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plaintiff, an inmate at Corcoran, stated enough to survive screening for his prison strip search case.
