Case Summary

On May 11, 2011, three individuals given extrajudicial sentences of post-release supervision filed this class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The named defendants were the New York State Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) and the New York State Division of Parole (DOP).

On May 11, 2011, three individuals given extrajudicial sentences of post-release supervision filed this class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The named defendants were the New York State Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) and the New York State Division of Parole (DOP). They claimed that the defendants administratively assigned sentences of post-release supervision (PRS) and that only a judge could impose an additional sentence under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiffs sought declaratory relief, class certification, and compensatory and punitive damages.

The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on October 20, 2011, which added two named plaintiffs to the action, bringing the total to three.

On November 15, 2011, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim on the ground of qualified immunity. On February 10, 2012, Judge Shira A. Scheindlin denied the motion. Bentley v. Dennison, 852 F. Supp. 2d 379 (S.D.N.Y. 2012). The court found that the plaintiffs had made plausible factual allegations that the defendants were responsible for the deprivation of their constitutional rights and that the plaintiffs' rights were clearly established under Earley v. Murray, 451 F.3d 71 (2d Cir. 2006). The defendants appealed from the denial of their motion to dismiss, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court's holding on July 8, 2014. The appeals court held that, under Earley, the administrative imposition PRS terms not imposed by the court was unconstitutional, thus precluding a finding of qualified immunity in this case.

On July 16, 2014, the case was referred to Magistrate Judge James C. Francis for settlement purposes.

On January 28, 2015, Judge Scheindlin granted the plaintiffs' Motion to Certify Class. The court found that the plaintiffs satisfied the requirements of class certification. The class consisted of “all persons who were sentenced to prison in New York State for a fixed term that did not include a term of PRS, but who were nevertheless subjected to PRS after the maximum expiration dates of their determinate sentences and after June 9, 2006.”

On May 8, 2015, the defendants requested summary judgment. They argued that they were entitled to qualified immunity and that the plaintiffs had failed to establish the personal involvement of certain defendants. The defendants also moved to modify the class to exclude certain class members’ claims that they alleged were barred by statute of limitations, and to exclude class members whose claims they alleged were precluded. Subsequently, the plaintiffs filed a cross-motion for partial summary judgment on the question of personal liability for three officers.

On August 6, 2015, Judge Scheindlin granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion for summary judgment and granted the plaintiffs' partial motion for summary judgment. The court found that since the defendants had failed to make reasonable efforts to comply with precedent that the imposition of post-release supervisory sentences was unconstitutional, they were not entitled to qualified immunity. The court further found that the three individual defendants cited in the plaintiffs' motion could be held personally liable as a matter of law, while the court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment with respect to the remaining DOP defendants. Regarding the defendants' remaining claims, the court held that the action was not barred by the statute of limitations or collateral estoppel.

The defendants filed an interlocutory appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on qualified immunity grounds. The plaintiffs then filed a motion for an order certifying defendants' interlocutory appeal as frivolous. On October 14, 2015, the District Court found that dual jurisdiction was warranted between the District Court and the Court of Appeals because the defendants' renewed qualified immunity claims were frivolous. Thus, the District Court determined that it retained jurisdiction despite the interlocutory appeal.

However, on December 16, 2015, the Court of Appeals ordered a stay of proceedings in the District Court pending resolution of the defendants' interlocutory appeal. On September 16, 2016, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's denial of qualified immunity to the defendants. Betances v. Fisher, 837 F.3d 162 (2d Cir. 2016). During this period of time, the case was reassigned to District Judge Deborah A. Batts.

On May, 30 2018, the parties consented for the rest of the case to be heard by a magistrate judge. The case was then assigned to United States Magistrate Judge Robert Lehrburger.

Following several years of additional discovery and intermittent attempts at settlement discussions, in August 2018 the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment and to modify or decertify the class. Specifically, the defendants sought to: (1) dismiss class members whose claims were untimely; (2) dismiss class members who had claims for compensatory damages and award them nominal damages; (3) if the court deemed any class members' damages could be more than nominal, dismiss claims for damages not caused by the defendants; (4) modify the class to exclude plaintiffs if they were referred for resentencings, or limit their damages; (5) decertify the class for purposes of damages; and (6) preclude claims for false imprisonment.

Judge Lehrburger decided the defendants' motions for summary judgment and class certification on February 21, 2019. He denied the defendants' motion for summary judgment, except to the extent that it applied to plaintiffs who had sentences of PRS imposed to fix clerical errors by their sentencing courts. Judge Lehrburger barred these plaintiffs from receiving more than nominal damages. He also completely denied the class decertification motion.

After the defendants' motions were denied, the case slowly crept towards trial, which was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 1, 2021, Judge Lehrburger set a trial date of June 16, 2021. However, in May, defendants moved to decertify the class, contesting the propriety of determining damages for loss of liberty on a class-wide basis. They argued that “a highly complicated and individualized analysis [was] required to determine . . . what damages any class member may be entitled to;” therefore proceeding to trial on this issue was inappropriate. On plaintiffs’ request, the court withdrew the June 16 trial date due to this disputed legal issue and instead set a briefing schedule on the merits and mechanics of proceeding to trial on a class-wide basis. 

Following oral argument in January, the court issued its decision on class decertification on March 14, 2022. 2022 WL 765963. Noting Judge Scheindlin’s 2015 class certification order that contemplated the class would be maintained for trial on general damages, the court denied defendants’ motion to decertify, holding that defendants had not made the court aware of any change in law or fact that would merit a different outcome than Judge Scheindlin’s previous ruling. First, the court found that general damages were available for loss of liberty, and loss of liberty damages could be determined on a class-wide basis. Next, the court found that the class continued to meet the requirements under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 (numerosity, commonality, adequacy, and ascertainability). Further, the court agreed with plaintiffs’ argument that any individualized damages could be dealt with by decertifying the class after the class-wide damages issues were determined at trial. 

As requested by the court, the parties submitted a joint letter in April 2022 setting a schedule for completing notice to the class, a schedule for filing any outstanding pre-trial materials, a description of any remaining pre-trial in limine issues that had not been resolved, and dates during the third quarter of 2022 when the parties were not available for trial. 

This case is ongoing.

ORDER: Plaintiffs wish to proceed with discovery, at least with respect to Paul Betances, arguing that "his claims for damages will unquestionably survive any conceivable ruling from the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.") PRS was imposed on Betances on April 24, 2008 and he was re-imprisoned for violation of that PRS on July 9, 2009. Defendants apparently intend to argue to the Second Circuit that they are entitled to qualified immunity for both of these actions. If the Second Circuit agrees with them, Betances' claims will not survive the appeal. There are twenty-four named plaintiffs in these actions, and the Betances plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class. Even if plaintiffs are correct regarding Betances' case, it would not be an efficient use of the Court's or the parties' resources to attempt to proceed with discovery related only to Betances while awaiting a decision from the Second Circuit. Discovery is therefore stayed pending the appeal. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 4/9/2012) (jfe) (Entered: 04/09/2012)
