Moore v. Prevo
United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
379 F. App’x 425, 2010 WL 1849208 (2010)
- Written by Miller Jozwiak, JD
Facts
Tyrone Moore (plaintiff) was a prisoner at a prison in Michigan. Moore alleged that a nurse and two correctional officers (defendants) at the facility told another prisoner that Moore was HIV positive. Moore also alleged that another prison official asked another prisoner whether the prisoner knew that Moore had a sexually transmitted disease. In response to these actions, Moore filed a pro se complaint in federal court. Moore alleged that the prison officials had violated his Fourth Amendment right to privacy when they disclosed his HIV status to other prisoners. The district court concluded that Moore’s claim failed as a matter of law. Moore appealed.
