SIGNIFICANT CASES

Ahmad v. ortiz. et al., No. 94-50195 (Fifth eir.). This
is a Bivens case originally filed in the western
District of Texas, alleging Eighth Amendment
constitutional violations for deliberate indifference to
medical needs, and retaliation, against numerous BOP
employees at Fel, Bastrop. The District Court granted
summary judgment on all claims as to all defendants, and
the inmate appealed. The Fifth Circuit upheld the
dismissal of five of the six claims, but held that the
sixth claim - alleged placement in administrative
detention for a month without a hearing - was not
properly raised in our motion for summary judgment.
without intimating any decision as to whether the claim
can withstand an appropria·tely filed motion to dismiss
or for summary judgment, the Circuit Court vacated and
remanded as to this one issue.
Ramos v. Ortiz, EP-94-CA-342-BR - Plaintiff alleges that
