Sep. 22, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inmate\u2019s strip search claim fails: \u201cPlaintiff&#8217;s allegations do not support a constitutional claim under either context. The Complaint provides no information about the scope of the search, the manner in which the search was conducted, or the justification offered for the search. Plaintiff describes no contact and no harm; he does not describe any actual or perceived danger to his safety.\u201d Payne v. Gerling, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 186127 (S.D. Ill.

Nothing in the state-court record suggests that Strieter was denied a full and fair opportunity to litigate her consent claim in state court. The trial court&#8217;s hearing on the issue was not a sham. The hearing testimony and the body-cam footage support the trial court&#8217;s factual determinations. And the trial court did not commit an egregious error in resolving the consent issue or fail to take the issue seriously. Thus, Stone precludes me from reaching the merits of Strieter&#8217;s Fourth Amendment claim.\u201d Strieter v. Cahak, Warden, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 185616 (E.D. Wis.
