Johnny Traweek v. James LeBlanc
Date: 06-28-2022
Case Number: 21-30096
Judge: Per Curiam
Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on appeal from the Eastern District of Louisiana (Orleans Parish)
Defendant's Attorney: Blake J. Arcuri, Freeman Rudolph Matthews, Laura C Rodrigue
Johnny Traweek, a former Louisiana state prisoner, was detained
twenty days beyond his release date. Among other defendants, Traweek sued
James LeBlanc, Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and
Corrections (DPSC), under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, for violating his rights under
the Fourteenth Amendment, his due process rights under the Louisiana
constitution, and other state laws. LeBlanc asserted qualified immunity
under federal and state law and moved for summary judgment, but the
district court denied his motion. LeBlanc appealed. Because the district
court did not articulate which facts it found to be genuinely disputed, we
cannot adequately review the court's ruling.
