United States Fourth Circuit
Brooks v. Arthur, 09-1551
In former correctional officers' suit against their former supervisors, in their individual capacities, asserting retaliation under 42 U.S.C. section 1983, district court's dismissal of the section 1983 claims in concluding that the doctrine of res judicata barred plaintiffs' claims because the allegations made therein had been resolved administratively, is vacated and remanded as there was no privity between the Department of Corrections and the defendants in their individual capacities.
