Case Summary

On December 4, 2017, two inmates of Pierce County Jail (PCJ) with mental health issues brought this class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiffs sued Pierce County and the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department under 42 U.S.C. §1983. The plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU of Washington, sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. The case was assigned to Judge Ronald B.

On December 4, 2017, two inmates of Pierce County Jail (PCJ) with mental health issues brought this class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiffs sued Pierce County and the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department under 42 U.S.C. §1983. The plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU of Washington, sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. The case was assigned to Judge Ronald B. Leighton, and referred to Magistrate Judge David W. Christel.

The plaintiffs claimed that the defendants violated their Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The complaint alleged that the defendants did not adequately screen for mental illness during the booking process or during incarceration, ignored clear signs of mental illness and requests for care and, and, as a result, routinely failed to document serious mental health symptoms, psychiatric medications, and treatment history. As such, the plaintiffs’ mental illnesses were allowed to progress unchecked, leading to hallucinations, delusions, and an increased risk of self-harm. The complaint also alleged that the defendants "routinely warehouse these individuals in solitary confinement for 21 to 24 hours a day," and that they have a formal written policy of placing people with “poor behavioral control due to a mental disorder” in “crisis cells” for 23 hours a day.

On December 21, 2017, after filing and withdrawing two motions to certify class, the plaintiffs filed a third motion to certify class, defining the class as: “All qualified individuals who have mental illnesses that are disabilities as defined in 42 U.S.C. §12102 and 29 U.S.C. §705(9)(B), and who are now, or will be in the future, incarcerated at the Pierce County Jail.”

On February 2, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss, among other claims, the plaintiffs' §1983 claim of inadequate mental health treatment. The defendants also argued that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring their administration of psychiatric medication upon release claim because they fail to show the existence of an imminent injury.

On March 28, 2018, Judge Leighton granted in part the defendant’s motion to dismiss, dismissing the claims against the named agents of the county but retaining the claims against Pierce County and Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. On May 7, 2018, adopting a report and recommendation by Magistrate Judge Christel, Judge Leighton dismissed the complaint without prejudice for lack of standing.

On May 11, 2018, however, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration and relief from judgment, arguing that the court mistakenly dismissed the entirety of the complaint instead of the limited dismissal (one claim for lack of standing) sought by the defendants. On May 15, 2018, Judge Leighton granted the motion for reconsideration, saying that the dismissal was an inadvertent administrative error. The defendants filed their answer to the complaint with the court on May 12, 2018, and discovery continued.

On June 7, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to strike plaintiffs' motion for class certification. The motion alleged that plaintiffs' failed to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(c)(1)(A) and Local Civil Rule 23(i)(3) in their unilateral decision to re-note the motion to certify, resulting in a delay tactic that was prejudicial to the defendants. In an order issued on August 3, 2018, the court granted in part and denied in part the motion and additionally ruled against the plaintiffs on a pending discovery motion. The order specified that although the motion to certify was stricken, the class allegations would remain in the complaint and permitted the plaintiffs to file a motion requesting enlargement of time to file a renewed motion to certify. As such, the plaintiffs amended and renewed their motion for class certification on August 29, 2018.

After a period of discovery, Magistrate Judge David W. Christel issued his report and recommendations on the motion for class certification on October 15, 2018. He recommended that the certification be denied because plaintiffs had failed to meet the numerosity and commonality requirements. Additionally, he found that the plaintiffs failed to meet the requirements of Rule 23(b)(2), which requires that the defendant acted or refused to act on grounds that apply generally to the class, so that injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief is appropriate respecting the class as a whole. Here, there were too many disparate and individualized issues regarding mental health such that the class lacked cohesiveness.

On October 25, 2018, the parties jointly stipulated for dismissal with prejudice, with all parties bearing their own costs. The case officially closed on October 29, 2018.
