Case Summary

The plaintiff in this federal lawsuit was a naturalized U.S. Citizen. He was denied boarding to a flight from the United Arab Emirates ("UAE") to the United States because of his alleged inclusion on the No Fly List. He filed the lawsuit on May 30, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, against the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Terrorist Screening Center ("TSC"), which created and maintained…

The plaintiff in this federal lawsuit was a naturalized U.S. Citizen. He was denied boarding to a flight from the United Arab Emirates ("UAE") to the United States because of his alleged inclusion on the No Fly List. He filed the lawsuit on May 30, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, against the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Terrorist Screening Center ("TSC"), which created and maintained the No Fly List. Represented by the Council on American Islamic Relations as well as private counsel, the plaintiff alleged that the defendants placed him on the No Fly List to coerce him into becoming an informant for the FBI. The plaintiff further alleged that during an interview in Sudan he was denied counsel by defendants and urged to become an FBI informant in order to have his name removed from the No Fly List. Because the plaintiff refused to become an informant, he further alleged that the defendants retaliated by instigating and facilitating his torture in the UAE.

Based upon the foregoing allegations, the plaintiff alleged six claims for relief: (1) violation of the right to citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment; (2) an unidentified cause of action pertaining to torture; (3) denial of his right to counsel under the Fifth Amendment; (4) violation of his right against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment; (5) violation of his Fifth Amendment substantive due process right to return to his homeland once abroad; and (6) denial of procedural due process under the Fifth Amendment because the defendants failed to inform him on the basis for his inclusion on, or the means of removing his name therefrom the No Fly List.

The plaintiff sought a declaration that his right to counsel was violated; redress for the defendants' instigating and facilitating his torture in the UAE; an injunction preventing the defendants from violating the above-mentioned rights; and monetary damages in the amount of $30,000,000.

The case was assigned to Judge Anna Brown. On June 17, 2013, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint to add an additional defendant. On November 4, 2013, the defendants moved to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim. The court heard oral argument on the defendants' motion on March 14, 2014 and took the motion under advisement.

On May 29, 2014, Judge Brown granted the official-capacity defendants' motion to dismiss, dismissing all counts except three (denial of his right to counsel under the Fifth Amendment) and four (violation of his right against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment). The plaintiff had leave to file a second amended complaint consistent with the opinion and order no later than June 27, 2014. 23 F.Supp.3d 1268 (D. Or. May 29, 2014), 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 73174. The plaintiff eventually filed a series of amended complaints.

In 2015, the government revised the redress procedures available through administrative procedures as a result of the decision in Latif v. Holder, 28 F.Supp.3d 1134 (D.Or. 2014), which held various aspects of the process inadequate under the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause and the APA. As a result, the official-capacity defendants moved for a stay or, in the alternative, an extension of time to allow the defendants to reconsider the plaintiff's application under the new procedure. However, after completing the re-evaluation, the defendants determined that the plaintiff should remain on the No-Fly List.

On January 14, 2015, Judge Brown granted in part and denied in part the official-capacity defendants' unopposed motion. The court agreed that it was appropriate for the official-capacity defendants to reconsider the plaintiff's DHS TRIP inquiry under the new procedures, but the court found that a stay was unnecessary to permit the defendants to do so. In addition, the court noted that this case was now over 18 months old and had not yet proceeded beyond the pleading stage. Accordingly, the court ordered the defendants to complete a substantive reconsideration of the plaintiff's DHS TRIP inquiry no later than March 9, 2015, to move the case along.

The plaintiff filed their corrected fourth amended complaint on April 6, 2015. The defendants again filed motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim and for lack of jurisdiction. On November 4, 2015, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion to dismiss. The court held that the plaintiff's allegations were sufficient (1) to state a substantive due process claim based on right to international travel; (2) to state procedural due process claim based on right to international travel and to be free from false government stigmatization; (3) to state a claim for injunctive relief under the Fourth Amendment because the plaintiff was subject to surveillance without a warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion; and (4) to state a claim under the Wiretap Act. However, the court also held that the plaintiff's allegations were not sufficient to state a claim under the Stored Communications Act and that he had failed to plead a valid waiver of sovereign immunity for his claim that the FBI failed to comply with FISA. And the court held that the plaintiff lacked standing to seek prospective injunctive relief on the claim that the FBI placed him on the No Fly List while he was abroad in order to subject him to custodial interrogation without the assistance of counsel, because that issue no longer affected him, personally. 142 F.Supp.3d 1152, 2015 WL 6756121, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 151522. The court again gave the plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint to correct the deficiencies, and on November 29, 2015, the plaintiff filed his fifth amended complaint.

On March 16, 2016, Judge Brown found that plaintiff lacked standing to seek declaratory relief on their claim that was brought under the Fourth Amendment. On May 9, 2016, the defendants notified the court that the plaintiff was removed from the No Fly List.

On September 28, 2016, the courted issued an opinion and order, in which it granted the defendants' motion to dismiss, dismissed with prejudice plaintiff’s fifth amended complaint, and denied as moot the defendants’ motion to stay the plaintiff’s due process claims. 2016 WL 5539591, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 133307. On October 6, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice in which he stated his non-objection to the court dismissing this action as to the individual capacity defendants, the actions of which were subsequently dismissed without prejudice by the court on October 24, 2016.

On December 23, 2016, the plaintiff appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 2, 2017, the appellant submitted their opening brief, arguing that (1) the court must reject defendants’ attempt to moot plaintiff’s claims by removing him from the No Fly List years after the start of the litigation; (2) the complaint states a Fourth Amendment Claim for Unlawful Surveillance, Search, and Seizure; and (3) the district court improperly concluded that declaratory relief was not available for the fourth amendment claim. In response, the government argued that (1) the plaintiff’s No Fly List claims are moot because he is no longer on the No Fly List; (2) the government had demonstrated that the alleged wrongful conduct is not likely to occur; (3) the plaintiff’s requests for injunctive relief for speculative future claims do not save his current claim from mootness; (4) the plaintiff’s No Fly List claims are not capable of repetition yet evading review; and (5) the district court correctly dismissed the plaintiff’s surveillance claims. Oral argument was scheduled for May 9, 2018 before Judge Johnnie B. Rawlinson, Judge Morgan B. Christen, and Judge Marvin J. Garbis. On June 28, 2018, Judge Marvin J. Garbis retired and was replaced by Judge Milan D. Smith.

On September 20, 2018, the Ninth Circuit found that the allegations in the plaintiff’s fifth amended complaint were vague and conclusory, and did not give rise to a plausible claim for relief. Moreover, since the plaintiff had several opportunities to amend his complaint, and repeatedly failed to do so, the Ninth Circuit found that the district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing his Fourth Amendment claim with prejudice. 738 Fed.Appx. 545 (Mem), 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 26939, 2018 WL 4537720. In a separately filed opinion by Judge Christen, the panel reversed the district court’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s action as moot, that alleged the FBI violated his substantive and procedural due process rights by placing and maintaining him on the No Fly List. The panel held that plaintiff’s removal from the No Fly List was more likely an exercise of discretion than a decision arising from a broad change in agency policy or procedure, and further held that the government had not assured plaintiff that he would not be banned from flying for the same reasons that prompted the government to add him to the list in the first place, nor had it verified the implementation of procedural safeguards conditioning its ability to revise plaintiff’s status on the receipt of new information. The panel subsequently reversed the district court’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s due process claims and remanded for further proceedings. 904 F.3d 1033, 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 26880. Costs were taxed against the appellees.

On October 25, 2018, the Ninth Circuit granted the defendants/appellees’ unopposed motion for an extension to file petition for panel rehearing on or before December 5, 2018. The plaintiff filed a petition on that date, but the Ninth Circuit unanimously denied the petition on January 2, 2019.

On May 19, 2019 the plaintiff filed another amended complaint. This one removed previously unresolved claims, added additional factual allegations for the due process claims, and added the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator as defendant. The plaintiffs wanted to add the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) head as a defendant as well, but Judge Brown did not allow this in her order partially granting and denying the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint on May 8. 2019 WL 2030724.

The case was reassigned to Judge Michael W. Mosman on July 15, 2019.

The defendants filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim on July 20, 2019. Oral argument before Judge Mosman on the motion was held on November 14; after argument, the Judge granted the motion to dismiss without prejudice. He stated that arguments based on travel limitations were moot, but granted the plaintiff the opportunity to amend the complaint to further discuss stigma and reputational damage surrounding previous placement on the No Fly List, which is disseminated nationally and internationally.

The plaintiff filed an amended complaint expanding on the reputational harm of being on the No Fly List on December 18, 2019. The defendants moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim on January 22, 2020; a hearing on that motion is set for June 15, 2020. The case is ongoing.

MINUTES of Proceedings: On October 3, 2014, the Court conferred briefly with counsel concerning Plaintiff's stated intention to seek leave to file a Third Amended Complaint notwithstanding that Defendants' Motion 40 to Dismiss (against Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint) is pending Defendants' Reply and the Court's consideration. Although the Court is willing to deem the Motion 40 withdrawn and to grant Plaintiff leave to file the Third Amended Complaint, Defendants' counsel requested time to consider the matter more fully. Accordingly, no later than October 14, 2014, Defendants shall file either (a) their Reply in further support of the Motion, in which case the Court will consider the merits of the Motion and any Motion by Plaintiff for leave to file a Third Amended Complaint, or (b) Defendants' consent that Plaintiff file his Third Amended Complaint and Defendants' withdrawal of their Motion 40 with leave to refile similar arguments in response to the Third Amended Complaint. Thomas Nelson present as counsel for plaintiff(s). Brigham Bowman present as counsel for defendant(s). Court Reporter: Amanda LeGore. Judge Anna J. Brown presiding. (bb) (Entered: 10/03/2014)

Order by Judge Anna J. Brown. The Court has reviewed Defendants' Notice 53 and, in light thereof, GRANTS Plaintiff leave to file his Third Amended Complaint no later than 11/14/14. In the exercise of its case-management discretion, the Court also GRANTS Defendants until 1/14/15 to file their Answer or other responsive pleadings to the Third Amended Complaint. Accordingly, it appears to the Court that the filing of such Third Amended Complaint will render moot the Motion 40 of some Defendants to dismiss Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint and, unless the Court receives by 11/14/14 a justification to maintain Motion #40 on the docket, the Court will strike Motion #40 as moot as of that date.

ORDER by Judge Anna J. Brown. The Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part the Official-Capacity Defendants' Unopposed Motion 56 for Stay, or in the Alternative, Extension of Time. The Court agrees it is appropriate for the Official-Capacity Defendants to reconsider Plaintiff's DHS TRIP inquiry under new procedures, but the Court finds a stay is unnecessary to permit Defendants to do so. In addition, the Court notes this case is now over 18 months old and has not yet proceeded beyond the pleading stage. Accordingly, no later than March 9, 2015, Defendants shall complete a substantive reconsideration of Plaintiff's DHS TRIP inquiry consistent with Defendants' newly-created procedures and shall notify Plaintiff of the result of Defendants' reconsideration. No later than March 16, 2015, the parties shall submit a single, Joint Status Report in which they present their recommendations for the next steps in this case, including whether it is appropriate for Plaintiff to be permitted to file a Fourth Amended Complaint that takes into account Defendants' newly-created procedures before Defendants file their responsive pleading to Plaintiff's operative Complaint. The Joint Status Report shall specify an efficient schedule to advance this action past the initial pleadings and to make progress toward a final resolution without further delay. The Court will review the Joint Status Report upon its receipt and set a final case-management schedule shortly thereafter. (bb) (Entered: 01/14/2015)

Order by Judge Anna J. Brown. Upon review of Plaintiffs Fourth Amended Complaint 60, the Court notes Plaintiffs procedural due-process claim (Claim Six) still does not allege the denial of any specific protected liberty or property interest. Plaintiffs previous failure in his First Amended Complaint to plead and specifically to identify in his procedural due-process claim the protected liberty or property interest that he contends has been denied was the basis for the Courts dismissal of that claim without prejudice and with leave to amend. See Opin. and Order 36 at 28-29. Notwithstanding any other challenges Defendants may assert against Plaintiff's Fourth Amended Complaint and in the interest of advancing this almost two-year-old litigation that has not yet moved beyond the pleading stage, the Court exercises its discretion and hereby GRANTS to Plaintiff leave to file a Corrected Fourth Amended Complaint to address this issue if Plaintiff chooses to do so no later than April 8, 2015. The Court does not intend to grant to Plaintiff any further leave to amend his procedural due-process claim. (bb) (Entered: 04/02/2015)

The Court GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion to the extent that the Court reconsiders its Opinion and Order 81 . Having reconsidered Plaintiff's arguments, however, the Court adheres to its conclusion that Plaintiff lacks standing to seek declaratory relief on Plaintiff's Claim Fifteen brought under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
