In 1988, plaintiff filed a section 1983 suit pro se against the Warden of Montgomery County Detention Center. In her complaint, plaintiff alleged that defendant housed plaintiff in an administrative segregation unit because she tested positive for H.I.V. Plaintiff sought declaratory judgment that defendant's policies are unconstitutional and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting defendants from segregating plaintiff based on her medical condition.
After the District Court in Maryland (Judge Frederick Motz) consolidated plaintiff's case with two similar cases, the Detention Center addressed plaintiff's concerns and revised its policy regarding housing of inmates with H.I.V. As a result of this new policy, the parties agreed that further proceedings were unnecessary, and the court entered a consent decree in 1990. The docket for this case is essentially empty.
