On May 21, 2012, an inmate who suffered from severe mental illness and had a developmental disability filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The plaintiff, representing himself, sued the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC), claiming that the DOC's failure to provide him with adequate psychotropic medication was cruel and unusual punishment.

On November 19, 2012, now represented by the Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The plaintiff sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Rehabilitation Act, asking the Court for declaratory and injunctive relief. He alleged that the defendant subjected him to cruel and unusual punishment and discriminated against him on the basis of his disability. More specifically, that the defendants placed him in administrative segregation, also known as solitary confinement, because of his disability.

After the plaintiff's amended complaint survived a motion to dismiss and a motion for summary judgment, the plaintiff filed an unopposed motion to appoint a judicial officer for settlement conference. The plaintiff’s motion was granted in an April 2, 2014 order, and a settlement conference was set to be held before Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer for April 7, 2014. After the settlement conference, the parties were ordered to file a stipulated motion to administratively close the case and a further settlement conference was set. The parties complied with the order, and their motion to administratively close the case for six months was granted on April 9, 2014.

After the Court granted the motion to administratively close the case, the parties began negotiations for settlement. In a settlement agreement dated July 24, 2015, the parties negotiated a private settlement agreement, which is not publicly available. The claims against the defendant were dismissed with prejudice by Judge Jackson on July 27, 2015. This case is closed.

ORDER denying 95 Stipulated MOTION for Protective Order. The Court has no objection to any restrictions the parties want to place on one another. However, documents filed in the court files are presumptively available to the public. The Court does not have an objection to a protective order as to documents that must be filed with the Court so long as it is narrowly tailored to assure that only truly confidential information, such as medical information or information concerning correctional security, is restricted. The proposed order is too broad. By Judge R. Brooke Jackson on 06/05/2013. Text Only Entry(rbjsec. ) (Entered: 06/05/2013)
