Case Summary

On April 21, 2005, private attorney Mark E. Merin filed a class action civil rights lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, challenging the Solano County and Solano County Probation Department policy of subjecting juveniles to strip and/or visual body cavity searches at Solano County Juvenile Detention Center.

On April 21, 2005, private attorney Mark E. Merin filed a class action civil rights lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, challenging the Solano County and Solano County Probation Department policy of subjecting juveniles to strip and/or visual body cavity searches at Solano County Juvenile Detention Center. Plaintiffs alleged that pursuant to the defendants' policies, juvenile detainees in their custody were subjected to strip and visual body cavity searches before such they appeared at a detention hearing and without having any reasonable suspicion that the searches would be productive of contraband or weapons. The complaint asserted claims for violations of: 1) violation of Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments and 42 U.S.C. § 1983; 2) violation of California's Bane Act, California Civil Code section 52.1(a) and Unruh Civil Rights Act, California Civil Code section 52.1(b), based on alleged use of coercion to deprive Plaintiffs of their rights under article I, section 1, of the California Constitution and California Penal Code section 4030; 3) violation of California Penal Code section 4030. Plaintiffs sought monetary damages, declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as class certification.

Defendants filed answers generally denying all allegations of wrong doing or liability. They also moved to dismiss the state law claims. The District Court (Judge David F. Levi) granted the motion in part and dismissed the state law claims for damages and the class claim under Section 52.1. The motion to dismiss the state law claims for declaratory and injunctive relief was denied. Taggart ex rel. Perry v. Solano County, 2005 WL 3325752 (E.D.Cal. Dec 06, 2005)

Discovery followed and then defendants moved for judgment on the pleadings or summary adjudication on plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims asserting that the County was shielded by the Eleventh Amendment and that the individual defendants were protected by qualified immunity. Judge Levi denied the motion. Taggart ex rel. Perry v. Solano County, 2006 WL 737017 (E.D.Cal. Mar 20, 2006).

At the time of this summary, the case was still pending.

REPLY to pltfs opposition to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss. (Cassidy, Terence) Modified on 811912005 (Reader, L). (Entered: 0811712005)

MINUTE ORDER: Based on a review of the briefs, the court anticipates granting the motion to dismiss for the following state law claims: (1) all claims against Solano County because they are time barred under Cal. Govt Code Sec 946.6(f) and Solano County is immune under Cal. Govt Code Sec 844.6; (2) the Cal. Civ. Code Sec 52.1 claim for damages against Solano County Chief Probation Officer Gemma Grossi ("Grossi"), Solano County Juvenile Hall Superintendent Gladys Moore ("Moore"), and the unnamed dfts 1 through 10 because they are immune under Cal. Govt Code Sec 820.2; and (3) the class claim under Sec 52.1 because Cal. Civil Code Sed 52.1 (b) does not authorize representative actions. The court anticipates denying the motion to dismiss for the following state law claims: (1) the claims for declaratory and injunctive relief under Cal. Civ. Code Sec 52.1 against Grossi, Moore, and the unnamed dfts because the claimed immunities do not reach these forms of relief; and (2) the Cal. Penal Code Sec 4030 claim against Grossi, Moore, and unnamed dfts because that section evidences the legislature's intent to withdraw applicable immunities. The court will order the matter submitted on the briefs unless a party shows good cause for hearing oral argument on the motion. Good cause must be shown before 4:00 PM today, 812212005, by contacting Harry Vine at (916) 930-4091 and by electronic filing as required by local rule. (Vine, H) Modified on 8/3012005 (Reader, L).
