Civil rights – Wyatt Detention Facility – 42 U.S.C. §1983

Where a plaintiff filed a 42 U.S.C. §1983 complaint alleging that he suffered violations of his rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments while confined at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility awaiting resentencing on federal charges, a U.S. District Court judge’s decision to dismiss the complaint must be reversed because the complaint plausibly alleges action under color of state law.
