		Leaphart initially sued the same defendants as Ramona Africa as well as certain others, but his suit was dismissed as to some of the defendants prior to entry of the orders now on appeal.
		Leaphart alleges that they violated his decedent's rights under the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments, in violation of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985(3).[fn4] He seeks compensatory and punitive damages as well as declaratory relief.

		More important are Mallory's nostalgic memories of John Africa, the leader of Move, the radical group whose members were killed by the Philadelphia police in a well-publicized episode of official brutality in 1985.
