The following excerpt is from Lucero v. Mayberg, No. CIV S-10-2132 GGH P (E.D. Cal. 2012):
In claiming that he had limited exercise from June 30, 2009 "in a small cage" until August 17, 2009, plaintiff fails to indicate adverse medical effects for this relatively short period. Nor do his periods of confinement with respect to placement in Ad Seg or being stripped searched before female prison staff implicate the Eighth Amendment. Being placed in Ad Seg, without more, does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, Anderson v. County of Kern, 45 F.3d 1310, 1315-16 (9th Cir.1995).
