Case Summary

On October 22, 2014, a class of prisoners from San Bernardino County Jail filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, under 42 U.S.C. §1983 and various state laws, against the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and San Bernardino County.

On October 22, 2014, a class of prisoners from San Bernardino County Jail filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, under 42 U.S.C. §1983 and various state laws, against the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and San Bernardino County. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel and the ACLU of Southern California, sought damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees, alleging "systematic discrimination and denial of equal treatment" experienced by gay, lesbian, and transgender prisoners from San Bernardino County Jail. More specifically, the inmates argued that inmates who identified as gay, lesbian, or transgender were transferred and isolated from the general population, where they were denied equal access to opportunities to reduce their sentences, services, and programs and facilities. The inmates also alleged that they were often treated in an abusive and neglectful manner, being subject to derogatory name-calling and severe disciplinary measures.

The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on January 14, 2015, and a second amended complaint on May 20. The plaintiffs sought to define the following four classes:

The California Damages Class consisting of "individuals who currently are, were in the past (within six months prior to the filing of Veronica Pratt’s Govt. Code §910 claim), or will be in future (until such time as the unlawful policies and practices cease or judgment is entered in this case), GBT inmates housed in the ALT."

The Federal Damages Class consisting of: "individuals who currently are, were in the past (within two years of the filing of this complaint) or will be in future (until such time as the unlawful policies and practices cease or judgment is entered in this case), GBT inmates housed in the ALT."

The California Injunctive Relief Class consisting of "individuals who currently are, or in the future without the intervention of this Court will be, GBT inmates housed in the ALT and subject to the unlawful treatment set forth in this Complaint."

The Federal Injunctive Relief Class consisting of "individuals who currently are, or in the future without the intervention of this court will be, GBT inmates housed in the ALT and subject to the unlawful treatment set forth in this Complaint."

On March 23, 2015, defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs' claim, arguing that the plaintiffs did not allege facts sufficient to establish the elements required by state law and that governmental immunity shielded them from liability. On April 17, 2015, Judge Bernal granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion to dismiss. The court found that the plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged coercion and thus did not dismiss the state law claims, but dismissed their claim concerning the public entities' mandatory duty, finding that affirmative acts of a public entity were not required and thus did not qualify as a mandatory duty. 2015 WL 10382396.

Litigation and discovery continued as the parties progressed toward trial. Then, on March 29, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation to vacate the trial based on a conditional settlement. The settlement had three prongs: (1) a damages pool to provide monetary compensation to the individual plaintiffs and the members of a damage class; (2) attorney's fees and costs to the plaintiff's counsel; and (3) "substantive changes to San Bernardino Sheriff's Department policies and practices." The parties stipulated that they hoped to finalize the Settlement Agreement by May 15, 2018. On March 30, 2018, Judge Jesus G. Bernal granted the motion and vacated the trial.

On August 15, 2018, plaintiffs moved to certify class. There would be two categories: (1) the damages class composed of individuals who--between October 22, 2012, and March 31, 2018--were Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (GBT) inmates housed in the Alternative Lifestyle Tank of the San Bernardino County Jail; and (2) the injunctive relief class composed of individuals who were or would be GBT inmates housed in the San Bernardino County jails.

The parties also filed their settlement agreement with the court on August 15, 2018. The class fund was in the amount of $950,000 for class members. The plaintiffs' attorney's fees and costs amounted to $1,100,000. The settlement also stipulated an injunction spanning a three-year period starting when the court approved the settlement. The injunction established a committee to discuss housing, programming, education, and employment for inmates who identified as GBT. It also expanded resources for transgender inmates and allowed inmates to choose the gender of deputies performing searches and access to hormonal medication. It also ensured equal programming, work opportunities, and out-of-cell time for GBT inmates as compared to non-GBT inmates.

On September 21, 2018, Judge Jesus G. Bernal preliminarily approved the settlement, pending a fairness hearing scheduled for February 11, 2019.

On February 28, 2019, Judge Jesus G. Bernal approved the class-action settlement. It required the defendants to produce relevant documents for three years, concluding in February 2022, to ensure compliance with the injunction outlined above. 2019 WL 1109683.

In April 2019, the parties discovered a supplemental class list of 406 bookings that fell within the class definition that were omitted from the original class list. The supplemental class list had 274 supplemental class members. In May 2019, the parties agreed to incorporate the 274 additional members. The agreement increased by $76,304.39 and the settlement payment date was pushed back. On May 10, 2019, Judge Bernal granted preliminary approval of the modified settlement, pending a final approval hearing for the supplemental class members.

On July 30, 2019, Judge Bernal approved the amended class-action settlement, incorporating the supplemental class members into the settlement. Payment began August 9, 2019.

The injunction is scheduled to end in February 2022.
