Eason v. Holt

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that Fifth Circuit jurisprudence consistently reminds that an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint
• stating that a plaintiff must establish that force was maliciously and sadistically applied in order to survive dismissal for failure to state a claim
• stating that testimony giv en at a Spears hearing is incorporated into the pleadings
• indicating that responses to a questionnaire can become part of the “total filing”
• explaining that a plaintiff's “Spears testimony becomes a part of the total filing by the pro se applicant” and thus “bears on the evaluation of the legal sufficiency of the claim” when a defendant moves for dismissal
• “[A]mplifying the allegations in the prisoner's complaint, the Spears testimony likewise becomes a part of the total filing by the pro se applicant.”
