On April 9, 1984, a prisoner in Bridgewater, Massachusetts filed a pro se lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. §1983 against the Massachusetts Department of Corrections in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The plaintiff asked the court for declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as damages, alleging that his constitutional rights had been violated by the conditions of his confinement, lack of mail privileges and insufficient rehabilitation.
Our information on this case is limited to the PACER docket. According to the docket, on December 10, 1985, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Judge Robert E. Keeton) awarded injunctive relief to the plaintiff on one of his causes of action. Later, on June 11, 1991, the court ordered the defendants to pay the plaintiff $500.00 in attorneys' fees and closed the case. On July 7, 1991, the plaintiff appealed the dismissal of the case. On August 5, 1993, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the case.
