United States Fourth Circuit

Judgment for defendants in plaintiff-prisoner's civil rights action is : 1) dismissed in part, because the plaintiff's visitation privileges already have been restored, so his request for injunctive relief must be dismissed as moot; and 2) affirmed in all other respects, where defendant prison warden who imposed the challenged actions is shielded by qualified immunity from the inmate’s claim for monetary damages because, under the facts presented here, the inmate did not have a clearly established constitutional right to visitation.
