Case Summary

On December 7, 2016, an individual formerly detained in a D.C. jail filed this putative class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The plaintiff sued the District of Columbia under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiff sought injunctive relief, damages, and attorneys’ fees. The plaintiff claimed the district had violated his Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The complaint labeled the plaintiff as both the "Overde…

On December 7, 2016, an individual formerly detained in a D.C. jail filed this putative class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The plaintiff sued the District of Columbia under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiff sought injunctive relief, damages, and attorneys’ fees. The plaintiff claimed the district had violated his Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

The complaint labeled the plaintiff as both the "Overdetained Named Plaintiff" and the "Strip Search Named Plaintiff." As the "Overdetained Named Plaintiff," he sought to represent a class consisting of "(a) Each person who has been, is, or in the future will be incarcerated in any District of Columbia Department of Corrections facility from August 1, 2013 forward; and (b) who was not released, or, in the future, will not be released by midnight on the date on which the person is entitled to be released by court order or the date on which the basis for his or her detention has otherwise expired (or within two hours of being ordered released or otherwise becoming entitled to release if the person was a court return)."

As the "Strip Search Named Plaintiff," he sought to represent a class consisting of "each member of the class who was, or in the future will be, from August 1, 2013, forward: (i) in the custody of the Department of Corrections; (ii) taken to court from a Department of Corrections facility; (iii) ordered released by the court or otherwise became entitled to release by virtue of the court appearance because the charge on which he had been held was no longer pending or was dismissed at the hearing, was ordered released on his own recognizance, or had posted bail, was sentenced to time served, was acquitted or was otherwise entitled to release; (iv) was not the subject of any other pending case or cases which imposed any condition of release other than personal recognizance; (v) was not the subject of any detainer or warrant; (vi) was returned from court to the DC Jail or CTF or other District facility, to be processed out of Department of Corrections custody; and (vii) was subjected to a strip search and/or visual body cavity search without any individualized finding of reasonable suspicion or probable cause that he was concealing contraband or weapons; before being released, regardless of whether he was over-detained."

On March 21, 2017, the District of Columbia moved to dismiss the case, alleging that the plaintiff had failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted. On April 5, 2017, the plaintiff submitted an amended complaint. The amended complaint claimed that the harm experienced by the plaintiff was part of the District's revived pattern and practice of overdetention. These claims were brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 19, 2017, the defendant again moved to dismiss. The motion alleged the same arguments as the previous motion to dismiss.

On August 22, 2018, Judge Dabney L. Friedrich granted in part and denied in part the defendant's motion to dismiss. The court granted the District's motion to dismiss as to the plaintiff's claim that his over-detention constituted an unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment. Judge Friedrich denied the district's motion to dismiss the claim that the plaintiff's over-detention violated his substantive due process rights under the Fifth Amendment. Judge Friedrich also denied the motion to dismiss the plaintiff's claim for municipal liability. The court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the claims that the strip searched violated the Fourth Amendment and Fifth Amendment. As for the plaintiff's common law claims, the court dismissed the the false imprisonment, false arrest claims, and invasion of privacy claims. 322 F.Supp.3d 78 (D.D.C. 2018).

Eight days later, the plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration. The plaintiff asked the court to reconsider the only common law claims. The court held oral argument on April 3, 2019 on the issue of the plaintiff's motion for reconsideration. Although the plaintiff had only requested reconsideration on the common law claims, the briefings made it clear that the arguments on the common law claims implicitly challenged the dismissal of the plaintiff's Fourth Amendment claims. Two months later, Judge Friederich issued an opinion granting the plaintiff's motion for reconsideration. The judge restored the common law claims for false imprisonment (based in over-detention) and invasion of privacy (illegal strip searches) in full. Judge Friederich restored the section 1983 claims for over-detention and illegal strip searches only to the extent that they asserted claims under the Fourth Amendment. 2019 WL 5690341 (D.D.C. 2019).

In September of 2019, the parties issued a joint status report informing the court that the issues in the case had been resolved. On October 16, 2019 Judge Friederich issued a stipulation of dismissal. The parties agreed that the plaintiff's claims against the District of Columbia were resolved. Information on how the parties resolved this case is not available. The case was dismissed with prejudice. The case is now closed.

MINUTE ORDER. The Court has reviewed the plaintiff's 27 Motion for Reconsideration of the Court's August 22, 2018 memorandum opinion and order. The plaintiff limits his request for reconsideration to the Court's dismissal of his common-law claims. However, certain of the plaintiff's arguments, if accepted, would appear to impact the Court's holdings with respect to the plaintiff's Fourth Amendment claims. See Pl.s' Mot. for Recons. at 8 (arguing that "not every violation of a 4th Amendment requires a seizure or an 'arrest'"); id. at 9 (arguing that the plaintiff's return to the general population of D.C. jail was caused by his false imprisonment and that "[e]ven in the 4th Amendment context, neither Florence nor Bell ever suggested that arrestees and other prisoners lose their expectations of privacy in their bodies just because they are in jail"). The Court will therefore direct the parties to appear for a hearing at which they should be prepared to address both the merits of the plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration and its relationship, if any, to the Fourth Amendment claims previously dismissed. It is ORDERED that the parties shall file a joint status report on or before January 15, 2019 proposing at least three possible dates for such a hearing and indicating whether either party seeks permission to file supplemental briefing in advance of the hearing. Signed by Judge Dabney L. Friedrich on January 10, 2019. (lcdlf1)

MINUTE ORDER. In light of the parties' 33 Joint Status Report, it is ORDERED that the parties shall appear for a hearing on March 28, 2019 at 10:00 A.M. in Courtroom 12.

It is further ORDERED that (1) the plaintiff shall file his supplemental brief on February 15, 2019; (2) the defendant shall file its response on or before March 8, 2019; and (3) the plaintiff shall file his reply on or before March 15, 2019. The Court expresses no view on the plaintiff's intention to file a second motion for reconsideration or on the timing or merits of such a motion. Should the plaintiff file such a motion, the defendant may, if it wishes, consolidate its response to such motion with its response to the plaintiff's supplemental brief. Signed by Judge Dabney L.
