Case Summary

On February 23, 2012, five Maryland state prisoners who are deaf filed a class-action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (MDPSCS) and other state entities under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by private counsel, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, plaintiffs alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, …

On February 23, 2012, five Maryland state prisoners who are deaf filed a class-action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (MDPSCS) and other state entities under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by private counsel, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, plaintiffs alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the right to free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. Specifically, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants refused to provide the proper interpretive services, videophones, and other hearing devices. Plaintiffs sought injunctive relief and damages.

On March 13, 2013, Judge Ellen Hollander issued an opinion and an order denying the defendants' motion to dismiss or for summary judgment. Judge Hollander also denied the defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Jarboe v. Maryland Dep't of Pub. Safety & Corr. Servs., 2013 WL 1010357 (D. Md. Mar. 13, 2013).

The parties entered into settlement talks and subsequently reached a tentative agreement. The settlement agreement was not filed with the court, nor was a class certified. The terms of the settlement agreement included requiring MDPSCS to adopt a non-discrimination policy based on disability to ensure that hearing-impaired individuals have as equal an opportunity to participate in services, programs, and activities as other individuals similarly situated. In addition, MDPSCS designated an ADA Coordinator responsible for identifying hearing-impaired individuals in MDPSCS facilities and ensuring that they have access to auxiliary aids and services. Under the settlement agreement, MDPSCS was also required to implement intake procedures that protect the ability of hearing-impaired individuals to effectively communicate, set up visual alert notifications in facilities, and provide telecommunication devices (including teletypewriters (TTYs), videophones, etc.). MDPSCS reserved the right to restrain the hands of hearing-impaired individuals but agreed to consider alternatives that would allow individuals to effectively communicate. Finally, MDPSCS also agreed to institute new training policies for staff and notify all hearing-impaired individuals in MDPSCS of its obligations within 30 days of signing the agreement. Terms included payment of $142,500 in attorneys fees and costs to plaintiffs. On February 20, 2015, Judge Hollander dismissed the case without prejudice with the provision that the parties retained a right to reopen the case within a 90-day period. The 90-day period was significant as many of the terms of the settlement agreement required MDPSCS to take action within 30 days. No motion was filed within 90 days.
