Dupree v. Younger
United States Supreme Court
598 U.S. 729 (2023)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Kevin Younger (plaintiff) sued Neil Dupree (defendant) for violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Dupree filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that Younger had not exhausted his administrative remedies. The district court denied the motion. At trial, Dupree did not present his exhaustion defense. The jury found in Younger’s favor. Dupree did not file a posttrial motion. Dupree appealed solely on the exhaustion defense. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that Dupree had been required to preserve the issue by filing a posttrial motion and failed to do so. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari.
