Case Summary

On June 1, 2015, a young man with cerebral palsy and his caretaker filed this suit in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia. The plaintiffs sued Prince George's County, Maryland and the District of Columbia as well as their respective police departments under 42 U.S.C. §1983, 42 U.S.C. § 1231 (Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act 29 U.S.C. § 701, and various state laws. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel and the Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, asked the court for compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and appropriate injunctive relief. Along with other Fourth Amendment violations, the plaintiffs claimed that the force used by the Prince George's County Police Department was excessive. The plaintiffs also claimed that the police departments had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act for not having training and protocols in place for arrests of individuals with disabilities.

The events that precipitated the lawsuits were alleged as follows. The plaintiff was waiting at a bus stop on his way to run errands. Members of the Prince George's County Police Department had made their way into the District of Columbia to search for car thieves. The officers noticed the plaintiffs sitting at the bus stop and gave him unfriendly looks. The officers claim this was because he matched the subject's description. Because the stares of the police officers made him uncomfortable, the plaintiff began to head back towards his house. The police then confronted the plaintiff. The officer asked for the plaintiff's identification and the plaintiff presented the officer with his disability identification card. The officer eventually followed the plaintiff into his apartment complex.

From there, the complaint alleges that neighbors and the plaintiff's caretaker got involved. The caretaker first entered the scene seeing the plaintiff sprawled on the steps, the much larger officer standing above him, TASER in hand. The plaintiff was able to get free of the officer and fled into his apartment. The officer drew his firearm, waving it at the neighbors who had congregated and proceeded to call for backup instead of attempting to deescalate the situation. All the while, the plaintiff's caretaker and neighbor tried to explain to the officer that the plaintiff was disabled, and was, in fact, not capable of driving a car, let alone stealing a car. Eventually there were 29 police vehicles parked on the plaintiffs' block. The officers, some from the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office, the Prince George's County Police Department, and the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department, entered the plaintiff's apartment without a warrant, with firearms drawn. When they found the plaintiff in his bathroom, they allegedly beat him. The plaintiff was marched outside in handcuffs, sent to the hospital-with heavy bruising, lacerations, and a TASER spike lodged in his back. The hospital remanded him to the Metropolitan Police Department, and he was detained overnight.

According to the complaint, no attempt was made to contact the plaintiff's family when the sole charge against him, misdemeanor assault of a police officer, was not prosecuted. The plaintiff's uncle found the plaintiff wandering, scared and confused, around the outside of the courthouse.

After the complaint was filed, the different parties each filed motions to dismiss. Prince George's County filed their motion on November 19, 2015 and the District of Columbia filed their motion to dismiss on December 1, 2015.

Two of the officers of the Prince George's County Police Department were served in September of 2015 but failed to respond to the claims. On January 13, 2016, the plaintiffs moved for default judgment against the officers, who, a day later, filed a joint answer in the hopes that it would be accepted. The court (Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson) allowed the answer, saying in a minute order on January 14, 2016, that though neither officer sought leave to file the late answer, the court had a preference for deciding cases on the merits instead of on technicalities. The officers, also on January 14, 2016, filed their own motion to dismiss.

On May 11, 2016, the plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint, which dropped the official-capacity charges against the officers. Therefore, the motion to dismiss filed by the two Prince George's County officers was denied as moot. In the same minute order that denied the motion to dismiss, Judge Jackson issued a stay on the obligation of individual defendants to respond to the second amended complaint.

The second amended complaint also added charges against a new defendant: the state of Maryland. Specifically, Maryland was charged with violating the ADA. On May 16, 2016, the state of Maryland filed a motion to dismiss, and the case against Maryland was voluntarily dismissed on May 27, 2016.

On June 20, 2016, the United States Department of Justice filed a statement of interest in the case. In the statement, the DOJ asserted that arrest procedures were specifically considered during the drafting process of the ADA, and that the DOJ had in interest in the case not being dismissed.

On July 27, 2016, Judge Jackson denied Prince George's County and the District of Columbia's motions to dismiss and lifted the stay on the individual officer's obligations to respond to the second amended complaint, setting a due date in September. However, five days later on August 1, 2016, Prince George's County and its Police Officers filed a motion to bifurcate the case, hoping to separate the Monell claims from the individual claims. The defendants argued that the individual claims should be tried first, for convenience's sake. If the jury found that the plaintiff's rights had not been violated, then there could be no claim against the county or the district. Additionally, the defendants made the argument that even if the jury found against the individual officers, the monetary damages received would "obviate the need for a second trial." Finally, the defendants argued that the discovery information obtained and presented in arguing the custom of police brutality and disregard of the ADA that would be needed for the court or jury to find against Prince George's County would unfairly prejudice the jury or court against the individual officers.

On August 26, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a memorandum in opposition of the motion to bifurcate. They argued that the efficiency cited by the defendants was purely speculative and that staying discovery for the Monell claims until the possible second trial would be unfairly prejudicial against the plaintiffs. In the introduction, the plaintiffs implicitly asserted that in combination with the motions to dismiss, the bifurcation was simply a continuation of a pattern of attempts to prevent any discovery on the discriminatory practices of Prince George's County.

On September 14, 2016, Judge Jackson denied the motion for bifurcation without prejudice. Specifically, she stated that because the individual answers to the second amended complaint had not been filed, and because there was yet no discovery schedule set for the trial, the motion was premature. She stated that she would consider any motions for stays of discovery or bifurcation at a more appropriate time.

The officers answered the second amended complaint, and on October 7, 2016, the charged officers of the MPD filed a motion to dismiss. This time, the officers asserted that the charges against them were too vague to know whether or not they could claim qualified immunity.

On October 13, 2016, the plaintiffs filed their third amended complaint. As compared to the first complaint, it dropped the original due process claims and the claim based on the DC Human Rights Act Violation. Meanwhile, it added unlawful entry claims and negligent infliction of emotional distress in addition to the original intentional infliction of emotional distress claim. The third amended complaint also added a claim under section of 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and added a section on the administrative notice the plaintiffs gave to both the District of Columbia and Prince George's County.

The court initially refused to rule on the defendant's qualified immunity claim because it found neither party had developed the argument sufficiently. After several months of supplemental briefing, the court held a motion hearing on the issue in April of 2017, and denied the motion to dismiss on September 1, 2017. 264 F. Supp. 3d 154. The court found that the complaint sufficiently stated a claim against the officers even though it did not allege exactly what actions each particular officer took.

The defendants filed a second motion to bifurcate and stay discovery on November 16, 2017, which the court granted in part and denied in part on January 16, 2018. Specifically, the court concluded that bifurcation of the Monell claims was appropriate for the purposes of trial, but that to avoid undue prejudice to the plaintiffs, the existing discovery schedule would proceed as to all claims. It went on to explain that after summary judgment, any surviving non-Monell claims would proceed to trial. After the initial trial, if there was reason to proceed on the Monell claims, a second trial addressing those would follow.

Since then, litigation has continued over various discovery disputes and the parties appear to have engaged in some settlement efforts. On September 24, 2018, the parties filed a joint consent to mediation by Magistrate Judge, and the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson for mediation. While a settlement conference was initially scheduled for November of 2018, was rescheduled a number of times and was never actually held.

On April 25, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a preservation order for Prince George County defendants regarding the preservation of evidence. A discovery hearing was held before Judge Meriweather on May 20, 2019. The same day, at the request of the court, the plaintiffs filed a notice of discovery. The plaintiffs requested production of documents.

On October 29, 2019, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the case against the Prince George County defendants because the parties had reached a private settlement. The claims against the D.C. defendants had not been resolved and were still subject to ongoing litigation. Three days layer, the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather for full case management.

The case was administratively stayed on March 11, 2020 by Judge Meriweather because of the pending settlement. On May 28, 2020 the plaintiffs filed a stipulation of dismissal against all defendants because the parties had settled the matter privately. As of July 16, 2020, the court had not yet issued an order to dismiss the case with prejudice.

	MINUTE ORDER. On September 26, 2015, Plaintiffs served their amended complaint in this matter on defendant Alan Larmore; three days later, on September 29, 2015, Plaintiffs also served defendant Kenneth Meushaw. Under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Larmore and Meushaw had until October 19, 2015, and October 20, 2015, respectively, to file their answers. As of January 12, 2016, neither had filed an answer, and Plaintiffs accordingly requested that the Clerk enter defaults against both Larmore and Meushaw. One day later, Larmore and Meushaw filed a joint answer to the amended complaint, and two days later moved to dismiss certain of Plaintiffs' claims against them. While neither Larmore nor Meushaw sought leave from this Court to file these documents out of time, in light of the judicial preference for resolving disputes on the merits rather than on technicalities, this Court will construe these Defendants' joint answer and motion to dismiss as a motion for leave to file these documents out of time, and so construed, it is hereby ordered that leave to file these documents out of time is GRANTED. It is FURTHER ORDERED that, in light of Defendant's filings, Plaintiffs' request for entry of default against Larmore and Meushaw is DENIED as moot.

	Minute Entry for proceedings held on 7/27/2016 before Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson; Oral ruling of the court denying Motions 17 and 20 to Dismiss and lifting the stay. (Court Reporter Barbara DeVico) (nbn)	July 27, 2016	July 27, 2016 PACER
	MINUTE ORDER. On July 27, 2016, the parties appeared before this Court for a status conference at which the Court issued an oral ruling on the pending motions to dismiss and lifted the stay on the obligation of the individual defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the Second Amended Complaint. At the conference, the Court indicated that the responses from the individual defendants would be due 21 days after service. However, in light of the fact that different defendants will likely be served at different times, thereby potentially generating dozens of different due dates, the Court has determined that it would be more efficient to set a single date by which all responses are due. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the individual defendants' responses to the Second Amended Complaint, as well as the District's responses to the relevant common law claims (Counts VII, IX, X, and XI), are due by September 21, 2016.

	MINUTE ORDER. Defendant District of Columbia and the ten individual MPD officers who have been sued in this action (collectively, "Individual Defendants") have filed a 61 Motion to Dismiss that is ripe for this Court's review. The Court has considered the parties' submissions, and it finds that supplemental briefing regarding the issue of qualified immunity is necessary, because neither side has developed its qualified immunity arguments with enough specificity for this Court to decide the merits of Defendants' motion. Specifically, in the motion at issue, the Individual Defendants fail to specify whether they seek qualified immunity solely on the grounds that there was no constitutional violation, or whether they also maintain that the right was not clearly established at the time of any violation. Cf. Patterson v. United States, 999 F. Supp. 2d 300, 311 (D.D.C. 2013) ("As laid out by the Supreme Court, the two pertinent questions in determining whether qualified immunity applies are (1) whether a constitutional right would have been violated on the facts alleged, and (2) whether the right was clearly established at the time of the violation." (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)). Likewise, Plaintiffs merely assert that "broad, undeveloped assertions devoid of supporting authority cannot justify dismissal" (Pls.' Opp'n to Defs.' Mot. to Dismiss, ECF No. 65, at 6 n.2), and they do not otherwise respond to the Individual Defendants' qualified immunity arguments. Cf. Kyle v. Bedlion, No. 12-cv-1572, 2016 WL 1301043, at *4 (D.D.C. Apr. 1, 2016) ("A defendant bears the burden of raising the defense of qualified immunity in response to a claim brought under section 1983, and once the defense is asserted, the burden of proof then falls to the plaintiff to show that the official is not entitled to qualified immunity." (internal quotations marks and citations omitted)). Thus, while it appears the Individual Defendants have met their burden of raising the qualified immunity defense such that Plaintiffs now bear the burden of demonstrating why the individual defendants are not entitled to qualified immunity, the basis (or bases) upon which qualified immunity is sought have not been made clear, nor have Plaintiffs clearly articulated their arguments in opposition to that motion. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the parties shall file supplemental briefs that conform to the following specifications: first, on or before December 26, 2016, the Individual Defendants shall file a supplemental brief of no more than 15 pages that clarifies the basis (or bases) upon which they are entitled to qualified immunity. Second, on or before January 23, 2017, Plaintiffs shall file a supplemental brief of no more than 25 pages that responds to the Individual Defendants' qualified immunity arguments and explains why the Individual Defendants are not entitled to qualified immunity on the grounds claimed. Any reply to Plaintiffs' responsive brief shall be no more than 10 pages, and shall be filed on or before February 10, 2017. It isFURTHER ORDERED that a motion hearing is set for April 27, 2017 at 2:30 P.M in Courtroom 17 before Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. The parties shall be prepared to address the qualified immunity arguments, as well as the remaining arguments raised in Defendants' 61 Motion to Dismiss. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 11/14/2016. (lckbj3)	Nov. 14, 2016	Nov. 14, 2016 PACER
