Description
On New Years Day in 1980, Thomas Patillo died at the hand of an Atlanta policeman. We accepted this case for en banc consideration primarily to determine whether Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 101 S. Ct. 1908, 68 L. Ed. 2d 420 (1981), precludes a claim by his administratrix under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 because state tort law provides a comparable remedy.
