Outcome
The court sustained the Department's preliminary objection (demurrer) to the inmate's constitutional claims, finding that the Department is not a proper defendant under Section 1983, that Section 1983 does not apply to property loss from negligent acts where adequate remedies exist, and that the Fifth Amendment does not apply to state actors.
