Lilly (Chief Corrections Officer), unnamed deputies, and the County Commission of Raleigh County, West Virginia. The appeal, filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, originated from the Southern District of West Virginia. The court, after reviewing the appellant's arguments, found them to lack merit and affirmed the district court's decision, which had previously issued a thorough opinion on the matter. The case was decided on May 16, 1994, by a panel including Circuit Judges Russell and Williams, and District Judge Turk, sitting by designation.
