TARRANT, Ala. – Federal Court Enters Default Against Defendant, Officer Imani Dumas, in Bryon Snipe Lawsuit
A significant development has occurred in the federal lawsuit filed by Bryon Snipe against Tarrant Cop, Imani Dumas.
The case, Snipe v. Dumas, Case No. 2:26-cv-01313-ACA, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama on July 26, 2026. Court records identify the lawsuit as a civil-rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On September 9, 2026, the federal court entered an Entry of Default against Dumas.
According to the court’s order, Dumas was properly served with the complaint and more than 21 days had passed without him filing an answer or otherwise responding to the lawsuit.
As a result, the court formally determined that Dumas is in default. The court specifically states that Snipe may recover from Dumas only such relief as Snipe proves to the court, along with applicable costs.
We previously mentioned how this officer was seemingly illegally hired by Chief Wendell Major according to public records.
