Case Summary

On August 20, 2010, five inmates in the Los Angeles County Men's Central Jail filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Proceeding under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against deputy sheriffs, the plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, sought damages, claiming violations of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, the inmates claimed that the deputies systematically beat them during a cell extraction after the inmates protes…

On February 25, 2013, Judge Consuelo B. Marshall denied plaintiffs' motion to strike the defendants' answer and enter judgment, but Judge Marshall did grant the plaintiffs' alternative motion to impose other lesser sanctions for spoliation of evidence.

On July 12, 2013, Judge Marshall denied the defendants' motions for summary judgment but granted a defendant's motion for joinder and plaintiffs' motion in limine to admit the Citizens' Commission on Jail Violence Report. The defendants appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit. The plaintiffs moved that this appeal was frivolous. The Ninth Circuit denied the defendants' motion to stay the district court proceedings pending the appeal. As such, the district court proceedings continued and the Ninth Circuit never ruled on this appeal.

After a five-week trial, on February 5, 2014, the jury returned a unanimous verdict of civil rights violations triggering $710,000 in damages and $240,000 in punitive damages. In addition, the district court awarded $5.4 million in attorney fees based on the difficulty of the litigation and the challenge of representing convicted inmates against law enforcement in a jail conflict. After this judgment, the defendants moved for judgment as a matter of law, to vacate the judgment and for a new trial, to vacate punitive damages, and/or for a new trial. The defendants also appealed the judgment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In 2014 and 2015, the defendants filed a total of three amended appeals to the Ninth Circuit.

On May 29, 2014, Judge Marshall denied all defendants' motions (1) for judgment as matter of law; (2) to vacate judgment and for a new trial after resolution of interlocutory qualified immunity appeals; (3) to vacate punitive damages; and (4) for a new trial. 2014 WL 8396787 (C.D. Cal. May 29, 2014).

On December 29, 2014, Judge Marshall issued an order and opinion regarding attorney's fees. Most importantly, Judge Marshall held that (1) California's Bane Act's attorney's fees provision did not conflict with the Prison Litigation Reform Act; (2) the majority of services rendered in opposition to summary judgment would be as §1983 only time (and therefore receiving lower reimbursement rates), rather than under the Bane Act; and (3) inmates were entitled to recover fully compensatory attorneys' fees. 2014 WL 8390755 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 29, 2014).

In the district court, the plaintiffs moved to retax costs and to award nontaxable expenses on May 15, 2015. They sought a total of $89,648.64. On November 12, 2015, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion to retax costs and granted their motion to award nontaxable costs of $39,928.35.

On May 30, 2018, the Ninth Circuit (Circuit Judges William A. Fletcher and Sandra S. Ikuta, and District Judge Sarah Evans Barker, sitting by designation) affirmed the district court's judgment in favor of plaintiffs, award of compensatory and punitive damages, and award of attorneys' fees. 891 F.3d 776 (9th Cir. 2018). Specifically, the panel denied the defendants' request to vacate the final judgment on the basis that the district court lacked jurisdiction. Regarding the exhaustion of administrative remedies, the panel held that the district court did not clearly err in finding that a reasonable fear of retaliation made the grievance system effectively unavailable for appellees. Additionally, the panel found that the district court did not err in denying the defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law based on qualified immunity: there was sufficient evidence of a constitutional violation and the law was clearly established. The supervisors were not entitled to qualified immunity or immunity under state law. Further, the panel held that the record supported the jury's verdict and the district court's ruling of municipal liability. Finally, the panel upheld the jury's award of punitive damages and the district court's attorneys' fee award.

The parties agreed that the plaintiffs will be paid an additional $825,000.00 in attorneys' fees and costs relating to the appeal. The parties also agreed that the plaintiffs were owed post-judgment interest on compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and costs. Thus, the final total amount of the judgment was $7,289,973.77.
