Bass v. Parkwood Hosp., 180 F.3d 234

Myron Bass, the involuntary committee, filed a pro se action against Parkwood Hospital, its employee Victoria Sheets, and DeSoto County, alleging due process violations, failure to accommodate his religious dietary preferences and disability, race discrimination, malicious prosecution, and false imprisonment. Bass sought mental health counseling at Parkwood but was detained against his will after Sheets reported him as a danger to others. He was held for eight days without proper legal procedures being followed, leading to his claims against the defendants. The district court dismissed his complaint with prejudice, prompting Bass to appeal.
