Case Summary

On March 9, 2017, the plaintiffs filed this class action suit challenging the adequacy of the Missouri State Public Defender (MSPD) on behalf of all indigent adults and juveniles who were charged with any offense that carries the potential for incarceration as a penalty and who are eligible to be represented by MSPD. The complaint was originally filed in Circuit Court of Cole County but defendants removed it to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri on April 7, 2017. The plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU and the MacArthur Justice Center sued the State of Missouri along with its governor under 42 §U.S.C §1983, alleging a violation of the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment right to counsel also guaranteed by the Missouri Constitution Art. I, § 18(a) and the Missouri Criminal and Juvenile Codes. The plaintiffs also alleged a violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments right to due process, also guaranteed by the Missouri Constitution Art. I, § 10. The lawsuit asked the court to declare Missouri’s public defense system unconstitutional and to order the defendants to take the steps “necessary to bring the system into compliance with federal and state law.”

The complaint alleged that the State of Missouri had failed "to provide the resources required to adequately represent poor people accused of crime in Missouri, leading to the actual and constructive denial of counsel for, and ineffective representation of, indigent defendant across the State.” Moreover, it stated that the budget for indigent defense was “shockingly inadequate" and alleged that attorneys had little time to spend on each case, causing poor defendants to needlessly sit in jail for prolonged periods until their public defender has time to work on their case. The complaint stated that there was a lack of attorneys at arraignments and bond hearings, and that many appointed attorneys were unprepared to effectively advocate for a client.

The case was assigned to Judge Nanette Laughrey and was also included in Missouri's Mediation and Assessment Program with Magistrate Judge Matt J. Whitworth assigned to be the mediator. On April 21, 2017, the defendants moved to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On June 6, 2017, the case was reassigned to an outside mediator.

The plaintiffs requested the court to certify their class on June 8, 2017. The proposed class consisted of "all indigent persons who are now or who will be during the pendency of this litigation, under formal charge before a state court in Missouri of having committed any offense the penalty for which includes the possibility of

confinement, incarceration, imprisonment, or detention (regardless of whether

actually imposed), and who are eligible to be represented by MSPD."

On July 5, 2017 the court held oral argument on the defendants' motions to dismiss, and on July 24, 2017 Judge Laughrey granted the defendant's motion to dismiss in part as to one of the plaintiffs who lacked standing to sue. 268 F.Supp.3d 992. The court denied the motion as to the other plaintiffs. Regarding the state of Missouri, the court found that the state had waived sovereign immunity by removing the case to federal court. The court also denied the motion to dismiss as it related to the governor of Missouri, finding that the plaintiffs had alleged that the governor had a sufficient connection to the challenged conduct to place him squarely within the Ex Parte Young exception to sovereign immunity.

On August 18, 2017, two Defendants, the state of Missouri and its Governor, appealed to the Eighth Circuit their denied motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. (Docket No. 17-2857). Arguments were held on April 10, 2018,

Meanwhile, in the district court, the parties began discovery until, on January 18, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to stay the case pending resolution of the appeal to the Eighth Circuit. The same day, the defendants filed a motion to realign the MSPD defendants as plaintiffs. The plaintiffs submitted an opposition to the realignment on January 31, contending that there was no legal basis to realign the MSPD defendants as plaintiffs and that there were actual and substantial conflicts between the two groups. On February 9, both parties filed their respective motions for summary judgment. The plaintiffs sought summary judgment on all of their declaratory and injunctive claims and an order requiring the defendants to propose a plan to provide adequate representation to all indigent criminal defendants in Missouri within 30 days. The defendants contended that the Eleventh Amendment immunity barred all claims to the state, that the plaintiffs lacked Article III standing, and that the plaintiffs failed to state plausible constitutional claims. On the same day, the defendants filed a motion to strike the designation of plaintiffs’ experts and exclude the testimony of the experts at trial. The plaintiffs submitted an opposition to the motion to strike on March 2. The motions to realign the MSPD defendants, the parties’ motions for summary judgment, and the motion to strike the plaintiffs’ experts were all denied on April 17, 2018.

In an opinion written by Judge Benton, the Eighth Circuit reversed the judgment of the district court in favor of the defendants on January 10, 2019. 913 F.3d 736. Regarding the state of Missouri, the Eighth Circuit held that sovereign immunity is broader than Eleventh Amendment immunity and in the absence of an express statutory exception or a recognized common law exception, sovereign immunity is the rule and applies to all suits against public entities. The Eighth Circuit also reversed the district court's holding regarding the governor, rebutting point by point how the Ex Parte Young exception did not apply in this case.

The case was remanded to the district court for further proceedings. The plaintiffs’ claims against the state of Missouri and the governer were denied on February 26, 2019, and Judge Laughrey also denied the plaintiffs' class certification. 2019 WL 954982. The defendants’ motion to stay was also denied as moot.

District Judge Laughrey, in light of the Eighth Circuit decision, ordered parties to proceed with mediation on March 1, 2019. The parties submitted a joint motion to enter a consent judgment, proposing a variety of obligations to MSPD on May 13. Specifically, the consent judgment proposed that the MSPD must ensure public defenders argue for release at every client’s initial appearance, implement a caseload standard on individual public defenders, and provide for a monitor to ensure compliance.

The following day, the Attorney General filed a motion to intervene as a defendant and sought a temporary stay on the litigation. The Attorney General contended that despite their right to participate in litigation concerning the state’s interest, the proposed consent judgment did not adequately consult the Attorney General in the mediation process. The plaintiffs filed an opposition to the two motions on May 28.

On July 12, 2019, the motion to intervene was denied but the court permitted the Attorney General to submit an amicus brief addressing whether the proposed consent judgment comported with Missouri law, as well as other concerns on public safety and welfare. 2019 WL 3069856. On July 26, the Attorney General submitted the amicus brief and appealed the intervention decision to the Eighth Circuit with a motion to stay pending appeal. (Docket No. 19-2584). The district court partially granted the motion to stay and decided to stay the consent order pending resolution of the ruling.

On January 27, 2020, the parties’ joint motion for consent judgment was denied by the district court. Judge Laughrey determined that the rigid caseload capacity ceiling would impose an impossible constraint upon the public defenders in trying to comply with the consent decree and court orders to defend indigent clients. 2020 WL 420833.

The parties engaged in a teleconference before the court on May 8, 2020. There, Judge Laughrey told the plaintiffs that they must either dismiss the case without prejudice or proceed to a bench trial. The plaintiffs opted for a bench trial, and Judge Laughrey noted that discovery was closed but permitted the parties to participate in consensual discovery. In another teleconference hearing held on May 19, the Defendants argued that only one plaintiff still had standing and therefore any remedy must be tailored to her specific case.

On June 10, 2020, the parties notified the court that they had reached a resolution. The case was dismissed without prejudice on June 15, 2020. On June 16, the plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the pending appeal before the Eighth Circuit as moot given that the district court case concluded. On June 18, the Attorney General agreed to dismissal. The Eighth Circuit granted the motion on July 8, 2020 and remanded to the district court with orders to vacate the July 12, 2019 order denying the Attorney General’s motion to intervene. On August 4, the district court did so. This case is now closed.

28	ORDER entered by Judge Nanette Laughrey. Previously, Defendants Missouri and Governor Eric R. Greitens requested an extension of time in which to file a responsive pleading or otherwise move in response to Plaintiffs' Complaint. [Doc. 5 ]. Plaintiffs consented to this extension. Defendants Missouri and Greitens then moved to dismiss Plaintiffs' complaint under Rule 12(b)(1) and Rule 12(b)(6) in separate motions, [Docs. 16 and 18 ], as the supporting suggestions for these motions combined would exceed the page limitation in Local Rule 7.0(d)(1). Although Defendants Missouri and Greitens offer to consent to the second week of Plaintiffs' requested extension if Plaintiffs agree to a stay on discovery pending resolution of these motions, Local Rule 26.1(b) states that "Unless the Court orders otherwise, the filing of any motionincluding a motion to dismiss, a discovery motion, or a motion for summary judgmentdoes not stay the action or excuse the parties from complying with any discovery rule or scheduling order." Therefore, Plaintiffs' Motion for Extension of Time, [Doc. 26 ], is granted. Plaintiffs' response to Defendants' Motions to Dismiss due 5/19/2017. This is a TEXT ONLY ENTRY. No document is attached.
