Hollie v. Ludeman
Citation: 450 F. App'x 555Docket: Nos. 11-2843, 11-2845, 11-2847
Court: Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit; February 7, 2012; Federal Appellate Court
In consolidated appeals, plaintiffs Shannon Hollie, Robert Kunshier, Alvin Lamm, and Allen Pyron, who are civilly committed detainees in the Minnesota Sex Offender Program, challenge the district court's dismissal of their civil rights complaints. They argued that new policies concerning personal property and computer usage breached their constitutional rights. The appellate court determined that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the plaintiffs leave to amend, noting that no motion to amend or proposed amended complaint was filed. As such, the court affirmed the dismissal of the complaints based on the district court’s stated reasons. The ruling was endorsed by both U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schütz and U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeanne J. Graham.
