Civil Rights Defense 

Courtney Wolin recently won a Motion to Dismiss on behalf of a private prison client in a case where the plaintiffs alleged violations of their civil rights were overly hyped in the media.  Among the allegations was a claim that the staff utilized “orchestrated fights” for discipline, the distribution of drugs by staff, and the manipulation of urinalysis testing.  Courtney successfully argued that the Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction on the plaintiffs’ claims even though there is no appellate decision directly on the issue.
