Case Summary

On August 1, 2005, a group of men, who claimed they were wrongfully searched, filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs sued the City of Oakland, the Oakland Chief of Police, and Oakland police officers under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, alleged that the defendants violated the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights through a policy and practice of performing strip searches and body-cavity searches in pu…

On August 1, 2005, a group of men, who claimed they were wrongfully searched, filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs sued the City of Oakland, the Oakland Chief of Police, and Oakland police officers under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, alleged that the defendants violated the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights through a policy and practice of performing strip searches and body-cavity searches in public on only “reasonable suspicion” that people were hiding something illegal. The plaintiffs sought both injunctive relief and damages. This case was related to eight similar cases pending in the Northern District of California.

On September 20, 2005, the plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint for class action and individual relief for injuries and violation of their civil rights. On October 6, 2005 the case was reassigned to Judge Marilyn Hall Patel. Discovery proceeded for 18 months. On January 29, 2007, Judge Patel denied the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. 2007 WL 219796.

The parties each moved for summary judgment, and the individual defendants sought qualified immunity (immunity from liability for a public official who is performing a discretionary function, as long as the conduct does not violate clearly established constitutional or statutory rights). On March 27, 2008, Judge Patel granted in part the plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment. Judge Patel issued a declaratory judgment that the Oakland Police Department’s (“OPD”) policies were unconstitutional in certain respects. Judge Patel denied the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on liability and declaratory relief for the individual searches at issue. The strip-search policy was held unconstitutional because it provided too low a threshold for officers seeking to check for contraband on suspects in public places. The Court held that while reasonable suspicion is adequate to justify a strip search in the context of a detention facility when institutional security is a concern, it is “insufficient to justify a strip search in the field.” The police policy was held unconstitutional to the extent that it allowed strip searches of any kind in the field to be performed on less than probable cause. Judge Patel also found that an earlier version of the policy, enacted in 1998, was unconstitutional because it did not require that more invasive body-cavity searches be conducted by medical personnel. 621 F.Supp.2d 779 (N.D. Cal. 2008).

Litigation continued regarding the plaintiffs’ claims for liability and declaratory relief on the individual searches at issue. The plaintiffs renewed their motion for class certification, but on January 13, 2009, Judge Patel again denied the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. 2009 WL 88433.

On December 14, 2009, Judge Patel granted in part an individual plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment on his Fourth Amendment claim for the unlawful strip search that a defendant officer conducted on the plaintiff. Judge Patel declined to rule on the issues of qualified immunity and damages because factual disputes needed to be resolved first. 675 F.Supp.2d 992 (N.D. Cal. 2009).

The officer petitioned the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for a writ of mandamus ordering the district court to rule on the issue of qualified immunity. On January 13, 2010, the Ninth Circuit denied the defendant’s petition because there were still material questions of fact regarding qualified immunity, and the defendant had not asked the district court to rule on qualified immunity either by filing a motion for summary judgment or at trial.

On March 3, 2010, Judge Patel found that two of the cases were related to each other (C-08-4255MHP and C-04-4843MHP), but the other claims had been misjoined. Judge Patel gave the plaintiffs in those actions twenty days to drop all but one of the plaintiffs in each of the actions and to file new actions for each of the dropped plaintiffs. On December 1, 2011 the case was reassigned to Judge Susan Illston. Discovery and settlement negotiations proceeded for the next two years.

On April 18, 2013, the parties agreed to a settlement of injunctive and declaratory relief claims. The City of Oakland through the OPD agreed to institute a new policy concerning strip searches in the field. The OPD was required to capture and retain all complaints about strip searches conducted in the field and all reports of such searches for a period of two years from the entry of the order. Those reports were forwarded to the plaintiff’s counsel every six months, and the court maintained jurisdiction to ensure compliance for the two years. In the absence of any further proceedings, these related matters were fully and finally dismissed with prejudice on April 18, 2015. The case is closed.
