Case Summary

On October 19, 2015, three African American men who had been unlawfully arrested and detained in Chicago filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiffs sued the City of Chicago and six individual police officers under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by the People’s Law Office, the plaintiffs asked the court for compensatory and punitive damages. The plaintiffs claimed that the City of Chicago and the individual police officers violated…

On October 19, 2015, three African American men who had been unlawfully arrested and detained in Chicago filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiffs sued the City of Chicago and six individual police officers under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by the People’s Law Office, the plaintiffs asked the court for compensatory and punitive damages. The plaintiffs claimed that the City of Chicago and the individual police officers violated their Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Specifically, the plaintiffs claimed that the police officers falsely arrested them, illegally detained and coercively interrogated them in Homan Square, fabricated evidence, withheld exculpatory evidence, wrote false reports, and committed perjury during hearings and trials.

On January 11, 2016, the defendants filed a partial motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. The defendants claimed that the plaintiffs' complaint was insufficiently specific as to several counts, particularly the fabrication of evidence and the withholding of exculpatory evidence.

On July 19, 2016, Judge Ronald A. Guzman granted in part and denied in part the defendants' partial motion to dismiss. The court dismissed the plaintiffs' Brady claim with prejudice, as well as one of the plaintiff's excessive force claims against one police officer. Additionally, the court dismissed the plaintiffs’ due process claim relating to the fabrication of evidence and their claim for civil conspiracy without prejudice. The court gave the plaintiffs 21 days to replead the two claims dismissed without prejudice.

On August 9, 2016, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.

Meanwhile, the case was consolidated with Perez v. Chicago, also in this Clearinghouse, for purposes of discovery. Following several months of discovery, defendants in this case filed a motion to bifurcate the plaintiffs' Monell claim from the other claims in the case and to stay discovery and trial on the other claims on January 31, 2017. On February 1, 2017, the Magistrate Judge Mary M. Rowland denied the motion with respect to bifurcating the Monell claims for discovery and denied without prejudice with respect to bifurcating the Monell claims for trial (holding that the decision about bifurcating for trial was for District Judge Guzman to make).

Following more than a year of discovery, the parties began settlement discussions in August of 2018. On September 24, 2018, the court held a settlement conference and the parties reached an agreement. The agreement was not filed before the court and so the contents of it are unknown. On November 8, 2018, the Court dismissed the case without prejudice, which automatically converted to dismissal with prejudice after 75 days. Each party was responsible for its own costs and attorneys' fees. This case is now closed.

MOTION by Defendant City of Chicago to bifurcate Plaintiffs' Monell Claim and to Stay Discovery & Trial on those Claims (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A, # 2 Exhibit B, # 3 Exhibit C, # 4 Exhibit D, # 5 Exhibit E, # 6 Exhibit F, # 7 Exhibit G, # 8 Exhibit H)(Cifonelli, Jonathan) (Entered: 01/31/2017)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Status hearing held. Counsel report on discovery. Status hearing set for 3/9/17 at 9:30 a.m. Motion hearing held. Defendant City of Chicagos Motion to Bifurcate Plaintiffs' Monell Claim and to Stay Discovery and Trial on those Claims 58 is denied with respect to bifurcating discovery and denied without prejudice as to bifurcating for trial. It would be inappropriate for this court to consider whether to bifurcate the Monell claims for trial. That decision is best left to the district court judge. As to discovery, the court is aware of the several cases, thoughtfully described by defendants, bifurcating Monell discovery in this district in order to focus on the alleged constitutional violations suffered by the individual plaintiffs and any damages arising therefrom. That narrower focus of course also contributes to judicial efficiency, always a concern. (Mot. at 4−7). This case is different than the cited cases for two significant reasons, one procedural and one substantive; either reason is dispositive. As a procedural matter, this case is coordinated for discovery purposes with Perez v. City, 13 C 4531. (Dkt. 36) (citing IOP 13(e)). The City will not be moving to bifurcate discovery in Perez because of the class allegations pending in Perez. The Mann and Perez plaintiffs are working jointly to conduct Monell discovery in order to streamline discovery. So the City does not save itself any burden by a bifurcation here and no judicial efficiencies are gained. As to the merits, this is not a run−of−the−mill Monell claim based on excessive force or wrongful arrest. The allegation here is that the City sanctioned the use of a facility, not a police station, to detain suspects without charges and without access to counsel or families, used coercive tactics during interrogations, and sanctioned a code of silence. (Dkt. 50, Amended Complaint, Count V). The fact that the facility was not a police station, and was unknown to the public, potential counsel and families of those detained, raises a number of discovery questions as to the policies that governed that facility, what level of command authorized and knew about the facility, and the command structure of the facility. While these are currently contained in the Monell count, questions about the authority of the individual officers to detain the individual plaintiffs at Homan Square would be fair discovery even absent the Monell claim. As stated in Court, Plaintiffs' oral Monell discovery will be limited to the City's policies, practices and procedures as they relate to the Homan Square facility. Finally, Plaintiffs shall promptly respond to the City's interrogatory requesting the factual basis for their Monell claim. No appearance necessary on 2/8/17. Mailed notice.

The Homan Square sign in lists are to be produced from 2008 − 2015. This is 5 years prior to the plaintiffs having been taken to Homan Square. The City is permitted to redact the names of any Confidential Informants who were signed−in to Homan Square and all the police officers' cellular telephone numbers. All other information contained on the sign−in sheets shall be produced. The sign−in lists are to be produced pursuant to the Protective Order entered in the Perez case. The spread sheets created by the City for purposes of separate FOIA litigation shall be produced from 2005 − 2015. These documents will not contain any redactions. The entirety of these documents are being produced FOR ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY. It is imperative that officers' names contained in these spreadsheets be protected from disclosure. The Court has every confidence in plaintiffs' attorneys, as officers of the court, willingness to abide by this limitation. This document product shall be complete by 6/2/17. The parties report being close to an agreement on search terms and custodians and close to identifying commanders for purposes of setting depositions. The City is to begin the email searches and to provide the final list of snap shots of leadership by 5/26/17. At the next status the Court intends to set a close of oral fact discovery.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Status hearing held and continued to 7/27/17 at 9:30 AM. Parties have reached an agreement on all search terms except one (Homan Square). The City is to submit a proposed order to(Proposed_Order_Rowland@ilnd.uscourts.gov) by 6/27/17 indicating wither it wants to include that term in its search terms or whether it wants to verify, by affidavit, the burden of searching that term by 7/27/17. The parties largely agreed on the custodians to be searched but are at odds over non−police force City officials. Plaintiff's motion on this matter is due 6/30/17. Defendants' response is due 7/14/17. Reply is due 7/21/17. Finally, the parties' joint request that the Court conduct an in camera review is granted. By 7/6/17, the City shall provide to the Court the 24 hour "log−in book" with the redacted names highlighted. The Court is tasked with verifying that the highlighted names are identified in the "log−in book" as witnesses or confidential informants, therefore justifying the redactions. If the Court has follow−up questions for the City, the Court will alert the parties at the next status, prior to engaging in any ex parte discussion with defense counsel about the matter.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Status hearing held. The Court reviewed the unredacted 24−hour "log−in book" that Defendant City of Chicago provided to the Court for in camera inspection. By 8/18/17, Defendant shall produce those documents to Plaintiffs as follows: (1) juvenile names shall be unredacted (with the exception of juveniles who are confidential informants), (2) names of confidential informants may remain redacted including "Jane Doe" or "John Doe", and (3) any identifiers, symbols or numbers indicating confidential informant status shall be unredacted. As the parties already know, if any document containing a juvenile name is filed in the litigation, that name must be redacted. At this time, Defendant is not required to search the standalone term "Homan Square" for all Chicago Police Department email custodians from November 2008 to the present, in light of all of the other searches being done by the City and based on defense counsel's representations at the hearing about the burden. By 8/18/17, the parties shall issue initial deposition notices. At the next status hearing, the Court will set firm deadlines for the completion of written and oral fact discovery.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Status hearing held. Parties report on production of electronic discovery. Electronic discovery from the Mayor's office is to be produced by February 7, 2018. Electronic discovery from the CPD was to cover the period November 2008−2017. That time period will be shortened to January 2010 − 2017. However, no defendant is permitted to make any argument or inference in briefing or at trial that the City or any individual defendant did not engage in a pattern or practice of conduct as alleged by plaintiffs because plaintiffs do not have evidence of such conduct that predates January 2010. The parties are ordered to commit to such a stipulation in writing by 2/9/18. Production of the CPD electronic discovery shall be done on a rolling basis and shall be concluded by 3/9/18. Party depositions are ongoing and shall be essentially complete by 2/28/18. Status set for 3/15/18 at 9:30 AM. Mailed notice (lp, ) (Entered: 01/26/2018)
