Neb. — A federal appeals court has rejected an appeal filed by a Nebraska inmate who had sued for a private cell to accommodate his shy bladder syndrome.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Robert Hunt sued prison officials in 2011, saying they violated his rights by denying him a single cell. Hunt’s lawsuit said his shy bladder syndrome was documented during his military service and dated back to 1975.
A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit in May, saying he believed the lawsuit was simply an attempt to get a private cell. The judge said prison staff had provided Hunt with treatment for his anxiety related to urination.
