United States Eleventh Circuit


Powell v. Barrett, 0516734

In Fourth Amendment claims by plaintiffs who were strip searched as part of the point-of-entry booking process before they were placed into the general jail population for the first time, dismissal of claims is affirmed and case is remanded where it follows from precedent in the decision in Bell v. Wolfish that the less intrusive searches in this case do not violate the Fourth Amendment.
