Case Summary

In 1975, pretrial detainees in the Orange County Jail filed a lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, challenging the conditions of confinement at the Orange County Jail. Attorneys with the ACLU Foundation of Southern California represented Plaintiffs. In 1978, the District Court (Judge William P. Gray) found unconstitutional conditions of confinement at the jail and issued injunctive relief ordering reforms be implemented…

In 1975, pretrial detainees in the Orange County Jail filed a lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, challenging the conditions of confinement at the Orange County Jail. Attorneys with the ACLU Foundation of Southern California represented Plaintiffs.

In 1978, the District Court (Judge William P. Gray) found unconstitutional conditions of confinement at the jail and issued injunctive relief ordering reforms be implemented in a number of areas. including: telephone access, visitation, law library access, mail, religious exercise, administrative segregation, meals, and sleeping accommodations. Stewart v. Gates, 450 F. Supp. 583 (C.D. Cal. 1978), remanded by Stewart v. Gates, 618 F.2d 117 (9th Cir. 1980). Judge Gray awarded attorney fees to Plaintiffs' counsel, but the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the case for recalculation of fees. Stewart v. Gates, 987 F.2d 1450 (9th Cir. 1993) (Circuit Judge Robert R. Beezer).

At some point during the 1980s, a population cap and other remedial orders were added. Other than the issue of fees, we have little information on case activity from 1980 to 2003, when memoranda were filed by the Court's ombudsman and Plaintiffs alleging violations of the Court's orders.

On March 11, 2004, the District Court (Judge Gary L. Taylor) consolidated the case with Pierce v. County of Orange, No. 8:01-cv-00981. On April 27, 2005, relying upon the 1996 Prison Litigation Reform Act and case law emphasizing prison administrators discretion, Judge Taylor vacated the previously entered remedial orders and dismissed the case.

Plaintiffs appealed, and on March 23, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Judge Betty B. Fletcher) partially reversed the district court's decision, ruling that the district court could not terminate its previous orders securing minimal access to religious services and exercise. The Court of Appeals also ruled that the County was in violation of the ADA because of disparate programs and services that were offered to disabled versus non-disabled inmates. The case was remanded for further fact-finding on the state of physical barriers to adequate access to bathrooms, showers, exercise areas, dayrooms, dining rooms, cells and all other areas to which disabled persons should have access, and to order remedial remedies as required.

On January 7, 2011, after a six-day bench trial, the Court (Judge Audrey B. Collins) confirmed the ADA sub-class as pretrial detainees with either a "mobility" or "dexterity" impairment, and made detailed findings of fact as to the conditions in the various facilities. After the parties offered proposed plans and comments, the Court entered judgment for the plaintiffs on June 28, 2011, accepting the defendant's final proposed plan for addressing the physical barriers identified in the factual findings and ensuring that disabled detainees were provided with equal access to programs, services, and activities as discussed therein.

Over the next year, the parties fought over attorneys' fees and issues regarding the Orange County Jail's compliance with the judgment. On February 10, 2014, Judge Collins terminated the ongoing order and injunctive relief, having found that the injunction was no longer necessary because the three areas in which plaintiffs sought to extend the injunction did not present current or ongoing violations and thus continued monitoring was no longer necessary.

MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS ORDER re Bench Trial held before Judge Audrey B. Collins: This matter is set for a bench trial scheduled to commence on February 9, 2010 at 8:45 a.m. At the final pre−trial conference held on January 25, 2010, the Court allowed each side 11 hours for opening, direct, cross−examination, and closing. The Court and counsel tentatively discussed the possibility that direct testimony of experts and other witnesses could be presented by way of expert reports and deposition transcripts, and cross−examination and redirect testimony would be presented live. However, the Court has reviewed the pre−trial filings from the parties and believes that live direct testimony will be helpful to resolution of this matter. Thus, the Court will give each side up to two additional hours beyond the 11 hours already given to present the direct testimony of expert and other witnesses. The previously set additional trial dates of March 23 and March 24, 2010 remain effective, since presentation of evidence may go beyond the four dates of February 9, 10, 16, and 17, 2010 already set by the Court.

MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS ORDER re: Briefing Following Bench Trial held before Judge Audrey B. Collins: During the course of the bench trial in this matter, the parties have raised several issues that the Court and the parties have agreed would be best resolved with the aid of written briefs filed by the parties prior to the parties' filing of proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. Those issues are: (1) the scope of the issues remanded by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals; (2) what accessibility guidelines apply to the Orange County jail facilities; (3) whether the Pretrial Conference Order includes Plaintiffs' claim of lack of notice and grievance procedure under the ADA; and (4) whether certain expert testimony must be stricken from the record. (see document for further details) The parties agreed to the Court's proposed briefing schedule that the parties would file simultaneous opening briefs addressing these issues no later than Thursday, April 15, 2010 and file simultaneous responding briefs no later than Thursday, April 22, 2010. The Court declines to set oral argument at this time, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local Rule 7−15, but it may do so. Any argument on these issues would be in addition to closing arguments. Once these matters are resolved, the Court will consult with the parties on the proposed schedule moving forward with proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law and closing arguments.

MINUTES: August 2012 Monitor's Report (In Chambers): The Court has received the Monitors fourth quarterly report, dated August 2012. The Court commends the parties on the significant progress in the physical modifications required by the Court's Order in this case. There has been less progress on the Countys compliance with the procedural and programmatic aspects of the Court's Order. The Court appreciates the County's attempts at compliance when the Monitor has identified issues, but the Court also shares the Monitor's concerns that it has been one year since the Court's Order was issued and the Monitor continues to find key areas of noncompliance. One area of particular concern is outdoor recreation: the Monitor found that, at Module O of Theo Lacy, outdoor recreation in the enclosed recreation area was offered before 6:00 a.m. 49% ofthe time, and it was always declined. (Monitor Report 15, 17.) Even if this does not technically run afoul of the terms of the Courts Order, it certainly undermines the Court's intent to ensure class members can reasonably take advantage of outdoor recreation. The Court will not issue any further orders at this time, but it strongly encourages the County to take a more proactive approach to complying with the procedural and programmatic portions of Court'sOrder as it has done with physical modifications. That includes ensuring that outdoor recreation is offered at times with at least a reasonable probability of class members taking advantage of it. Offerings before 6:00 a.m. do not fall into that category IT IS SO ORDERED by Judge Audrey B. Collins. (ir) (Entered: 08/27/2012)
