On October 20, 2006, state prisoners at New Jersey's Adult Diagnostic & Treatment Center ("ADTC") filed this §1983 suit against officials associated with ADTC in the District Court for New Jersey, alleging violations of their 8th and 14th amendment rights. Specifically, plaintiffs alleged that officials associated with the facility violated their constitutional rights by failing to contain and treat a serious and contagious skin condition. Plaintiffs sought compensatory and injunctive relief, and moved to certify a class of all similarly situated persons.
On January 25, 2007, the Court (Judge Stanley R. Chesler) dismissed thirteen of the prisoners sua sponte, with leave to file amended individual complaints, after concluding he was not authorized to join their matters together. The Court also denied class certification.
On June 19, 2009, the 3rd Circuit reversed the categorical denial of joinder, vacated the denial of class certification for failure to adequately justify the denial, and remanded to the lower court for further proceedings. As of February 14, 2016, the docket listed no further proceedings.
