Fourth Circuit: Douglas Fauconier v. Harold Clarke



Prisoner ADA complaint appropriately equitably tolled during exhaustion of administrative remedies required by federal statute.

Prison officials' reliance on a medical classification in the stated denial of all prospects of work states a claim under the ADA.

Prisoner pro se complaint asserting unequal treatment of comparators and lack of administrative explanation for informal denying the chance to work based on a medical classification states an Equal Protection claim.

Eleventh Amendment bars Equal Protection action for damages against prison administrators, but not the ADA action for damages, as an actual violation of the 14th amendment is alleged.

Claims against individuals barred under Qualified Immunity, since a clearly established right would be plain to every reasonable official, and such is not the case here.

Inmate transfer moots all claims for equitable relief except those against Director of agency.
