- Authors
Perry, Andrew
- Abstract
The article discusses the court case Jackson v. Valdez, wherein the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied the motion for recusal and dismissed municipal liability claim filed by a transgender inmate who was mistreated. It analyzes the judge's personal and political affiliation and impartiality, the conditions to consider that a municipal policy violates constitutional rights, and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) rights.
