Case Summary

On July 8, 2009, a class made up of owners and residents of Ryderwood, an area of Cowlitz County, Washington filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Western Washington against Ryderwood Improvement and Service Association, Inc. (RISA), alleging that RISA violated the Federal Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq. The FHA prohibits discrimination based on "familial status," which refers to families having one or more persons who have not attained the age of 18 years. Ryderwood consi…

On July 8, 2009, a class made up of owners and residents of Ryderwood, an area of Cowlitz County, Washington filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Western Washington against Ryderwood Improvement and Service Association, Inc. (RISA), alleging that RISA violated the Federal Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq. The FHA prohibits discrimination based on "familial status," which refers to families having one or more persons who have not attained the age of 18 years. Ryderwood consists of approximately 270 single family homes that here devised by deeds and subject to identical covenants and restrictions. RISA's rules required that the owner or purchaser must be "a bona-fide recipient of an annuity or a pension;" that such person "must not be less than fifty-five years of age"; and that there must be "no additional, permanent occupants of the home (other than the spouse) who do not meet the above requirements." The plaintiffs claimed that RISA's rules violated the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) by limiting sales to persons who are 55 years of age or older and have no family members under the age of 18.

An exemption existed for the compliance with certain aspects of the Fair Housing Act based on the Housing for Older Persons Amendment ("HOPA"), as stated in 42 U.S.C. § 3607. In order for a 55 and older community to qualify for the HOPA exemption, it must adopt, publish, and adhere to policies and procedures that demonstrate the intent required under HOPA. Once a housing facility or community adopted rules and regulations consistent with HOPA, the facility or community must regularly audit its members to ensure it was complying with the age requirement.

The plaintiffs sought relief for violations of the FHA, for fraudulent concealment by RISA in failing to disclose that RISA was not HOPA compliant, and for violations of the Washington Consumer Protection Act in misleading a large portion of the consuming public about the legality of its occupancy restrictions. The plaintiffs also sought declaratory and injunctive relief ordering RISA to rescind its occupancy restrictions.

On November 11, 2009, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that no longer included the fraudulent concealment or Washington Consumer Protection Act charges.

On June 4, 2010, Judge Benjamin H. Settle denied RISA's motion for partial summary judgment and granted in part and denied in part the plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment. He held that RISA was not entitled to the HOPA exception because it had not shown compliance with the regulations governing the HOPA. 2010 WL 2292825. On August 11, 2010, Judge Settle granted the plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction requiring RISA to cease any enforcement of age-restrictions at its homes. He denied the motion for attorneys' fees, holding that the issue should be decided at the conclusion of the case. 2010 WL 3211701. RISA moved to appeal these orders and to stay the case pending the appeal on August 13. Judge Settle granted the motion to file a discretionary appeal and in part granted the motion to stay the proceedings on August 14th. 2010 WL 3490191.

On January 14, 2011, the Ninth Circuit (Susan P. Graber, Raymond C. Fisher, and Consuelo B. Marshall) heard oral argument on the appeal. On April 27, the Circuit Court affirmed in part and vacated in part the district court's grant of partial summary judgment to the plaintiffs. The court found that RISA had been HOPA compliant since 2007. However, this compliance did not shield the community from liability for discrimination occurring before compliance was achieved. The court remanded to the district court to determine whether RISA's 2007 survey satisfied the HOPA statutory and regulatory criteria. 642 F.3d 765.

Back in the district court, the parties filed a joint status report on June 14, 2011, indicating they wanted the court to determine if RISA became HOPA compliant beginning or after September 2007 and if the 2007 survey was adequate.

The plaintiffs then moved for partial summary judgment on April 12, 2012, arguing that the 2007 survey was inadequate as a matter of law. The defendants also moved for summary judgment that day, arguing that the claim regarding the survey's adequacy should be dismissed. The court denied both motions on July 20, 2012. 2012 WL 2977981.

The plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on November 2, 2012, adding new language to its claim, stating that the defendants had violated 42 U.S.C. § 3617 by coercing, threatening, or intimidating the plaintiffs.

The parties then issued a series of motions for summary judgment. On April 18, 2013, the defendants moved for partial summary judgment on the claims of retaliation, which the court granted in part and denied in part as to various alleged actions on May 28, 2013. 2013 WL 2319404. The next day, the defendants moved for summary judgment as to the the issue of the plaintiffs' unpaid dues, asking the court to enter judgment against the plaintiffs for these dues. The court denied the motion on July 9, 2013. 2013 WL 3456920. On November 7, 2013, the defendants moved for summary judgment for the outstanding retaliation claims, which the court granted on March 4, 2014. On December 19, 2013, the defendants moved for summary judgment as to the plaintiffs' punitive damages claims, which the court denied on March 4, 2014. On January 2, 2014, the defendants filed a renewed motion for summary judgment as to the unpaid dues, which the court denied on March 4, 2014. Finally, on January 15, 2014, the defendants moved for summary judgment as to the plaintiffs' claims that they were currently not compliant with HOPE, which the court granted on March 4, 2014. 2014 WL 868804.

On April 22, 2014, the parties stipulated that they had settled all claims except for those pertaining to two individual plaintiffs while they were in bankruptcy proceedings. The parties therefore jointly moved to dismiss the settled claims, which the court granted on July 7, 2014. The court dismissed the claims as to the two remaining plaintiffs on August 28, 2014. Any private settlement agreement does not appear to be publicly available at this time.

The case is now closed.
