Congratulations to former Appellate Litigation Clinic students Corey J. Goerdt (J.D.’15) and Nicola M.

After full briefing and oral argument, the court reversed the district court, concluding that the plaintiff may proceed with his claim alleging a violation of his § 1983 Eighth Amendment right to basic sanitation.
