Myers v. Leflore Co. Detention Ctr. Pub. Trust

2 Citing cases

  1. Gooding v. Ketcher

    838 F. Supp. 2d 1231 (N.D. Okla. 2012)   Cited 11 times

    Indeed, one court found immunity pursuant to Section 155(24) when plaintiff brought a claim related to a strip search conducted during the booking process at a detention center. See Myers v. Leflore Cnty. Det. Ctr., No. CIV–07–223–FHS, 2009 WL 87599, at *7 (E.D.Okla. Jan. 12, 2009) (noting that “[defendant's] remaining claim related to the alleged strip search [conducted when defendant was booked at detention center] clearly involves the operation of the [detention center] by ... a ‘political subdivision’ under the [GTCA], [and therefore] operates in favor of [the political subdivision] and bars such state law claims against it”). The Court therefore grants Walton's Motion to Dismiss as to Plaintiff's assault and battery claim.

  2. Stead v. Skinner

    Case No. 10 C 4526 (N.D. Ill. Sep. 2, 2011)   Cited 7 times

    She had full access to toilet paper at all times. While she may have preferred to have more maxi pads to avoid the embarrassment of bleeding through her uniform pants, there is no evidence that her health was ever in danger. See Harris v. Fleming, 839 F.2d 1232, 1235 (7th Cir. 1998) (failure to provide the plaintiff with toilet paper for five days, or with soap, toothbrush, and toothpaste for 10 days was not a violation of his constitutional rights because the plaintiff suffered no physical harm and the conditions were temporary); see also Myers v. Leflore County Det. Ctr. Pub. Trust, No. 07-223, 2009 WL 87599, at *5 (E.D. Okla. Jan. 12, 2009) (receiving insufficient maxi pads, while embarrassing to the plaintiff, did not rise to the level of a constitutional violation); Benjamin v. Fraser, 161 F. Supp. 2d 151, 177 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) (two days without feminine hygiene products and toilet paper did not establish a constitutional violation). Finally, Stead could not make any phone calls between the evening of December 28, 2008 and January 2, 2009, when DWJ officials permitted her to make calls using an outside line, rather than the collect call-only phones that general population detainees must use.
