Case Summary

This Clearinghouse entry follows a transgender woman across several courts and stages of litigation as she sought to get gender-affirming surgery while incarcerated in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Plaintiff’s Pre-Parole Litigation, 2014-2016 (4:14-cv-00695) On February 14, 2014, the plaintiff, a prisoner in California's Mule Creek State Prison, filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California under 42 U.S.C. § …

Plaintiff’s Pre-Parole Litigation, 2014-2016 (4:14-cv-00695)

On February 14, 2014, the plaintiff, a prisoner in California's Mule Creek State Prison, filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiff was transgender and was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. In her complaint, she requested injunctive relief against CDCR. She alleged that the state failed to provide her with medically necessary surgery in violation of the Eighth Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause. She also requested injunctive relief against the defendants for allegedly failing to allow her to pursue a legal name change, also in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments.

On April 15, 2014, the District Court (Judge Jon S. Tigar) dismissed the plaintiff's complaint, with leave to amend; the court also referred the matter for appointment of counsel. 2014 WL 1477401.

The Transgender Law Center and a private firm agreed to represent her, and she filed an amended complaint on July 2, 2014. In it, she relied on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care, which explained that some individuals are unable to obtain relief from gender dysphoria without surgical intervention, and described sex reassignment surgery (SRS) as "essential and medically necessary" for this group of patients. The plaintiff alleged that she was part of this group.

The State argued that (1) a preliminary injunction was inappropriate in part because the plaintiff did not meet the WPATH eligibility criteria and that (2) the hormone therapy and mental health treatment provided to her since 2000 had alleviated her distress. The defendants further argued that the plaintiff had failed to identify a state policy or custom that denied name change requests to transgender women.

The District Court dismissed the plaintiff's name-change claim without leave to amend on November 18, 2014. However, the Court concluded that transgender status independently qualified as a suspect classification under the Equal Protection Clause. The Court therefore held that the plaintiff's allegations, if true, would describe an Equal Protection violation. It accordingly denied the State's motion to dismiss. 74 F.Supp.3d 1100. (Amended on March 31, 2015 to correct two syntax errors, 87 F.Supp.3d 1104).

On April 2, 2015, the District Court granted the plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction and ordered the defendants to provide the plaintiff with access to adequate medical care, including sex reassignment surgery. In effect, the Court's ruling created new precedent in holding that sex reassignment surgery was medically necessary, and that to deny a prisoner access to it was cruel and unusual, and thus a violation of her constitutional rights. The Court did not rule on plaintiff's claim under Equal Protection, reasoning that plaintiff was already likely to succeed on the merits relying on the Eighth Amendment. 87 F.Supp.3d 1164.

The defendants appealed the district court’s order granting preliminary injunction to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on April 10, 2015. Defendants also sought a stay of the injunction from the District Court. The District Court denied the stay motion on April 27, 2015. However, while the appeal was pending—one day prior to oral argument—the plaintiff was released on parole from the California prison system. The defendants therefore contended that the case became moot once CDCR released the plaintiff. The Ninth Circuit remanded the case for the district court to determine whether the appeal had become moot “through happenstance or defendants’ own actions,” and if the latter, whether the district court should vacate its prior preliminary injunction order.

Plaintiffs and defendants filed a joint stipulation for voluntary dismissal with prejudice on February 23, 2016, stating that they had agreed to a settlement of this action. Because the settlement was private, the Clearinghouse is unable to ascertain the terms of the settlement. The district court granted parties’ stipulation to dismiss the case on February 24, 2016.

Plaintiff’s Post-Parole Litigation, 2019-present (4:20-cv-01859 and 1:20-cv-00813)

On February 18, 2019, the plaintiff was sentenced for entering an establishment serving alcohol and carrying pepper spray in violation of her parole and was remanded to CDCR custody and housed in Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF). While on parole, the plaintiff had undergone sex reassignment surgery and three follow-up surgeries. Having requested and not received an additional surgery to alleviate the pain she was in, the plaintiff filed a motion to compel on April 29, 2019 to ask the court to enforce the April 2, 2015 preliminary injunction.

At a hearing on May 20, 2019, defendants contended that they had not yet decided on whether to provide the plaintiff with the requested surgery, and that they were waiting to receive her medical records before reaching a decision. The Defendants further argued that this case and the April 2, 2015 preliminary injunction had been dismissed on February 24, 2016, and the court therefore no longer had jurisdiction over these matters.

On March 16, 2020, the plaintiff filed a new case bringing similar claims in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Because the plaintiff agreed to pursue any further relief in the newly filed case, Judge Tigar denied her motion to compel as moot and closed the case (4:14-cv-00695) on May 22, 2020.

Plaintiff’s newly opened case in the Northern District of California was captioned as Norsworthy v. Diaz. The plaintiff brought her March 16, 2020 lawsuit against various CDRC and CCFW personnel. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiff alleged that in early April 2019, she requested an additional surgical procedure that had been recommended by her own doctor and two CDCR doctors, but CDCR has denied approval for her surgery. She was also not provided with sufficient ability to perform dilation maintenance of her sex reassignment surgery, leading to pain and potentially irreparable damage. CDCR also failed to provide her with prescription pain medication the cleaning materials necessary to maintain her sex reassignment surgery. When she finally received further revision surgery over four months after her doctors recommended it, defendants failed to provide her with adequate post-operative care in the same ways detailed above. Because of this inadequate treatment, her doctor recommended the need for additional surgery in January 2020. Although the surgery was initially approved, defendants later revoked approval without adequate explanation. Because of COVID-19, the plaintiff was unable to safely seek a third doctor’s opinion until late 2020, at which point she would have to go through the approval process again.

The plaintiff alleged that these actions by defendants violated her constitutional rights under the Eighth Amendment resulting in the failure to provide her with medically necessary care. She asked the court for punitive and compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and injunctive relief that (1) enjoined defendants from interfering with the discretion of the mental health and other medical professionals involved in her care, and (2) required defendants to provide her with adequate medical care, accommodations to dilate, necessary surgery, medical care and any medication which is or has been prescribed by a doctor or other healthcare professional.

This case was initially assigned to Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero, but was reassigned on March 19, 2020 to district Judge Beth Labson Freeman. The case was then reassigned to district Judge Jon S. Tigar for all further proceedings on April 6, 2020, when the predecessor case was officially closed.

On April 6, 2020, defendants filed a motion to dismiss for improper venue. Following motion practice and a hearing on June 9, 2020, the court granted and denied in part defendants’ motion to dismiss on June 10, 2020. Because most of the defendants resided within the Eastern District of California, and most of the events giving rise to the plaintiff’s claim also occurred in the Eastern District, Judge Tigar found that the proper venue for this case was the Eastern District and not the Northern District. However, in lieu of dismissing the plaintiff’s case, the court found that it was in the interest of justice to instead transfer the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 2020 WL 10965424.

The case was transferred to the Eastern District of California on June 11, 2020 and reassigned to district Judge Dale A. Drozd and Magistrate Judge Helena M. Barch-Kuchta (1:20-cv-00813).

Following some discovery and with the court’s permission, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 14, 2021. The amended complaint included the same allegations and added additional factual history regarding the plaintiff’s medical and criminal history, as well as CDCR’s historical failure to provide her with adequate medical care, which led her to file her first lawsuit in 2014.

The defendants filed an answer to plaintiff’s amended complaint on June 8, 2021, and on June 16, 2021, the court stayed the case and referred the parties to alternative dispute resolution. The parties failed to reach a settlement agreement, and on November 19, 2021, the court lifted the stay.

The parties proceeded with discovery. On August 24, 2022, the case was reassigned to district Judge Ana de Alba.

On April 27, 2023, with permission from the court, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which included the following factual allegations. Through discovery, the plaintiff learned that the real reason CDCR denied her surgery despite its initial approval was not because of the opinion from the outside doctor, but rather was because of committee recommendation. The plaintiff’s request for surgery first went before the Gender Affirming Surgery Review Committee (GASRC), which recommended approving her request for surgery. The Statewide Medical Authorization Review Team (SMART) then reviewed her case and declined to follow GASRC’s recommendation without a proper reason for doing so. The plaintiff was not informed of SMART’s decision regarding her surgery, and behind the scenes, the office of the California Attorney General was attempting to fix SMART’s improper denial of her surgery. However, by that point the pandemic had broken out, and the plaintiff could not move forward with finding a new surgical consult for her surgery. The second amended complaint also joined additional defendants, including correctional staff from CCWF and a member of the SMART committee that denied her request for surgery.

In August 2023, the plaintiff was released from CDCR custody. Following her release, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal with the court requesting that the court (1) dismiss all claims against the CDCR defendant, and (2) dismiss her claim to injunctive relief as moot. The court granted both requests on September 1, 2023, and the claim for punitive and compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees proceeded against the remaining CCWF defendants.

Discovery continued, and on March 14, 2024, the case was reassigned to district Judge Kirk E. Sheriff.

As of April 6, 2024, this case is ongoing, and trial is set for December 10, 2024.
