Plaintiff, Austin Nabeack, has filed a claim under 28 U.S.C. section 1983 against several officers of the Martin County Jail, alleging a procedural due process claim.  Specifically, Plaintiff alleges Defendants confined him in administrative segregation without a hearing or any other opportunity to be heard. Plaintiff further alleges Defendants have kept him in segregated confinement for over 6 months without meaningful review, despite admitting he has demonstrated satisfactory behavior.  Upon initial screening, the Court dismissed a related equal protection class-of-one claim.

Defendants have been served, but they have not yet appeared in this case.  Their response to the Complaint is due February 2, 2022. If interested, please email FLSD_ProBono@flsd.uscourts.gov
