How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that even though strip searches performed by the opposite sex are “subject to higher scrutiny,” they are generally constitutional if they consist of an “incidental and brief viewing of a naked prisoner”
  • recognizing that the Fourth Amendment’s protections extend to prisoners and pretrial detainees
  • stating that, “If the Court determines that the officer’s conduct did not violate a constitutional right, however, the analysis ends.”
  • stating that an Eighth Amendment claim of sexual harassment requires “at the very least, alleg[ations of] egregious sexual conduct”
  • stating that \'conclusory allegations that a municipality failed to train and supervise its employees' are insufficient to state a Monell claim absent supporting factual allegations\ (quotation and other citation omitted)
  • noting that it is unclear whether “sexual abuse claims of a pretrial detainee must still meet both the objective and subjective prongs of the traditional Eighth Amendment analysis” (footnote omitted)
