PHILADELPHIA – A panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has affirmed the ruling of a lower federal court, which granted summary judgment to municipal and medical defendants against a discrimination lawsuit filed by an inmate in a Philadelphia prison.
On March 30, Third Circuit judges Thomas M. Hardiman, Joseph A. Greenaway Jr. and Stephanos Bibas
upheld the summary judgment ruling in favor of the City of Philadelphia, Corizon Health, Inc. and MHM Services, Inc., and against plaintiff Leslie Boyd.
Boyd served a bit more than three months in a Philadelphia prison, where he suffered from back pain, mobility problems and bipolar disorder. As a result, he repeatedly fell and complained of sickness and pains. A few months into his time there, he fell again, lapsed into a coma, suffered spinal damage and grew more ill.

A panel of judges from the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia has rejected a request from a Clearfield man to address what he considers undue delay in hearing his appeal before the U.S. District Court in Johnstown.
The defendant, Luther L. Ware Jr., 70, is serving a prison term of 11 to 30 years at the State Correctional Institution at Houtzdale.
Ware was convicted in 2015 on two counts of possession with intent to deliver cocaine, delivery and related offenses of participating in a corrupt organization, dealing in the proceeds of unlawful activity and criminal use of a communication facility.
