Case Summary

On May 04, 2011, deaf and hard of hearing prisoners filed this class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against officials at the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by a group of public and private lawyers, the plaintiffs alleged that, while in IDOC custody, they were denied the assistance they needed to effectively communicate and participate in IDOC programs and services, in violation of the Americans with …

On May 04, 2011, deaf and hard of hearing prisoners filed this class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against officials at the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by a group of public and private lawyers, the plaintiffs alleged that, while in IDOC custody, they were denied the assistance they needed to effectively communicate and participate in IDOC programs and services, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, and the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. The plaintiffs sought certification of a class consisting of all prisoners who were deaf or hard of hearing, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief.

For nearly the first two years, the parties engaged in settlement talks. However, in April 2013, the settlement discussions came to an end and discovery commenced. On October 10, 2014, the parties reinitiated settlement talks.

The parties were unable to come to an agreement and recommenced discovery as of April 13, 2015. On October 8, 2015, Judge Marvin E. Aspen issued an order granting the plaintiffs' class-action certification. 311 F.R.D. 177. He also denied in part and granted in part the defendants' motion for summary judgment, dismissing the plaintiffs' claim of cruel and unusual punishment as to "communicative isolation." The rest of the plaintiffs' claims stood as the case proceeded.

Additionally, in June 2015 the plaintiffs filed a motion to compel supplemental discovery related to the death of a named plaintiff, who they claimed died of a burst appendix because he was unable to communicate with corrections officers. Though the defendants resisted this discovery, they were ordered to produce it by Magistrate Judge Young B. Kim on December 18, 2015.

In 2016, the case moved towards trial. On August 2, 2016, Judge Aspen denied the plaintiffs' six motions in limine seeking to preclude multiple defense exhibits and witnesses. 2016 WL 4091625. Judge Aspen also denied the defendants' two motions in limine seeking to bar plaintiffs' deposition testimony and certain exhibits and witnesses. He reopened discovery through October 10, 2016, to allow for inquiry into current prison conditions and for Plaintiffs to depose any newly disclosed defense witnesses.

In September of 2016, the plaintiffs filed a motion to compel responses to new discovery requests, which was granted on November 17, 2016. After several additional months of discovery, the parties agreed to resume settlement discussions. The first one was held before Magistrate Judge Kim on April 5, 2017, and it was followed by ten subsequent conferences over the course of the next year. On April 30, 2018, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement.

Under the terms of the settlement, IDOC agreed to:

(1) adopt a policy and procedure for identifying deaf and hard of hearing inmates through hearing screening and audiological evaluations;

(2) create and maintain a centralized database of deaf and hard of hearing inmates;

(3) issue deaf and hard of hearing inmate identification cards;

(4) perform auxiliary aids and services assessments for deaf and hard of hearing inmates;

(5) provide preliminary accommodations prior to auxiliary aids and services assessments;

(6) maintain auxiliary aids and services assessments and implement individualized inmate communication plans;

(7) conduct IDOC staff training on matters regarding deaf and hard of hearing inmates;

(8) provide deaf and hard of hearing accommodations at inmate orientation;

(9) make certain communication devices/technologies available;

(10) make television accessible for deaf and hard of hearing inmates;

(11) implement a tactile notification system;

(12) ensure equal access to prison employment;

(13) remove hand restraints for deaf and hard of hearing inmates when they are communicating through ASL;

(14) ensure that inmates are not transferred solely because of their deaf or hard of hearing status and consider requests of deaf or hard of hearing individuals to be housed together; and

(15) create and disseminate materials memorializing deaf and hard of hearing inmates' rights.

The settlement agreement stipulated that the court and class counsel would monitor compliance with the settlement agreement. The parties agreed that IDOC would pay class counsel $1,500,000 in attorneys' fees and costs. The court retained jurisdiction to interpret and enforce the settlement agreement for not less than two years following the effective date.

The court required that IDOC provide notice to the class members by May 26, 2018 and set a fairness hearing for July 26, 2018. Following the class members' objections, the plaintiffs filed a motion for final approval of the class settlement agreement and in opposition to those objections. Following the fairness hearing on July 26, 2018, Judge Aspen granted the parties' joint motion for final approval of the class settlement, finding that the settlement was fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the class.

On August 6, 2018, the parties filed a joint status report outlining the specific dates by when IDOC must complete certain steps under the class settlement.

On June 8, 2020, Magistrate Judge Kim entered a memorandum order and opinion regarding a motion from the plaintiffs to enforce the settlement's audiological evaluation requirement. The plaintiffs alleged that the IDOC was using Licensed Hearing Instrument Dispensers (LHIDs) to conduct these audiological evaluations, rather than licensed audiologists. LHIDs are trained in fitting and servicing hearing instruments, while audiologists are much more comprehensively trained in identifying, measuring, monitoring, and testing hearing and other audiologic disorders. The plaintiffs further allege that the IDOC is not completing these evaluations in a reasonable time period. The IDOC admitted that it violated the settlement by retaining LHIDs to conduct audiological evaluations for one year following the settlement's approval.

The court granted the plaintiffs' motion to enforce the settlement, and ruled that the IDOCs noncompliance necessitated sanctions. The court ordered the IDOC to pay the plaintiffs' reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The court also extended its jurisdiction to supervise and enforce the settlement for an additional year.

Following an October 20, 2020 status report, Judge Kim ordered IDOC to file a status report on the following: (1) the number of finalized communication plans; (2) progress on the installation of additional TTY units; (3) whether inmates were able to toggle CC functions on televisions; and (4) the status of the tactile system at two facilities. The court also ordered IDOC to produce photos of the tactile system and visual alarm systems.

After reviewing this new information, the court ordered IDOC to increase weekly communication assessments, test TTY machines, and make repairs to the CC feature on televisions.

On March 17, 2021, the Seventh Circuit affirmed in part and vacated in part Judge Kim's June 8, 2020 order. The panel affirmed the attorney's fees but held that the district court incorrectly determined that IDOC was obligated to ensure that its inmates receive audiological evaluations within a set time-frame because the Settlement contained no explicit timing requirement. 

On remand, Judge Kim ordered that the parties confer on any necessary discovery required to investigate whether IDOC was exercising best efforts to actually send its inmates to an audiologist so that the evaluations could be performed. On May 7, 2021, the parties provided a joint status report in response to Judge Kim's order. The parties engaged in discovery related to the audiological evaluations through summer 2021.

On November 24, 2021, plaintiffs filed a motion to find IDOC in violation of the settlement agreement by failing to use best efforts to comply with the audiological evaluation requirement. Plaintiffs attached nearly 140 exhibits to this motion.

On February 14, 2022, Judge Kim ordered an evidentiary hearing on May 2 and 3, 2022 on the following issues: (1) the time it took IDOC to send inmates for audiological evaluations for each year since the effective date of the Settlement Agreement; (2) efforts IDOC took from the effective date of the Settlement Agreement to send inmates in need of audiological evaluations to audiologists; (3) factors IDOC considered to cure the shortage of audiologists needed to conduct audiological evaluations for qualifying inmates; (4) IDOC's use of licensed hearing instrument dispensers for audiological evaluations since the effective date of the Settlement Agreement; and (5) the reliability of the charts/reports submitted in connection with Plaintiffs' motion.

On August 3, 2022, Judge Kim issued an opinion finding that the IDOC violated the settlement agreement by failing to use its best efforts to ensure that inmates were timely seen by audiologists. Judge Kim found that, during the first two years of the settlement period, IDOC failed to use its best efforts to send qualifying inmates to audiologists. This was a three-part failure, consisting of (1) a failure to adequately supervise the vendor in charge of inmate healthcare, (2) a failure to adequately staff audiologists such that many qualified inmates waited over a year for healthcare, and (3) a failure of efforts to remedy these problems (such that the Court characterized IDOC’s efforts as “sporadic at best”). It was not until the third year that IDC began to make efforts at the levels required by the settlement agreement. Judge Kim’s opinion left the issue of relief to future deliberation, directing the parties to confer to reach an agreement on relief or, if not possible, to brief the issue for the court.   

On September 26, 2022, plaintiffs filed a motion requesting relief related to IDOC’s violation of the settlement and, on December 23, 2022, Judge Kim issued an order granting in part and denying in part the plaintiffs’ request. Although the court denied plaintiffs’ request for monetary damages — reasoning that it could not grant such relief under the terms of the settlement — it granted plaintiff’s request for attorneys fees and court costs. The court provided a detailed breakdown of the hours worked and fees charged throughout three distinct periods associated with the appeal and, in sum, ordered IDOC to pay $422,342.75 in attorneys fees and $15,020.92 in costs. 

On August 18, 2023, without issuing an opinion but based on discussions held during preceding status conferences, Judge Kim terminated the court’s monitoring obligations and dismissed the case with prejudice.
