DOVER, Del. (AP) — A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit filed by a Delaware prison inmate who claimed he was deprived of his constitutional rights by being placed into solitary confinement because of his mental illness.
The appeals court will hear arguments Wednesday in the case of Angelo Lee Clark, who also claimed he was deprived of his rights to adequate medical care while in solitary confinement.
Attorneys for Clark filed the appeal after a federal court jury ruled last year that prison officials did not violate Clark’s rights by putting him in solitary confinement or denying adequate medical care.
Clark died in January at the age of 66. A family member is acting as the appellant in the case.
