Case Explained: UMAR ADEYOLA v. DR. EDAVALLY REDDY; JENNIFER ADKINS; MS. BUNN; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit Filed: 2026-08-05 The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court’s judgment denying relief on the appellant’s amended complaint filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act and *Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics*. The court held that the district court did not err in determining that the appellant’s Eighth Amendment claims presented a new *Bivens* context and in declining to extend the *Bivens* remedy to those claims. Additionally, the court denied the appellant’s motion to place the case in abeyance. As a result of this affirmation, the district court’s dismissal stands, and no further relief is granted on these claims. Do It For The Case Law is a news reporting service.
