Case Summary

On August 14, 2012, a deaf individual awaiting his BOP surrender date filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. The plaintiff sued the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”), and the Director of BOP under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the First, Fifth, and Eighth Amendments. The plaintiff, represented by his attorney, sought a temporary restraining order to ensure he would have access to a qualified ASL interpreter, non-aural notification of emergencies…

The plaintiff claimed that the lack of accommodations would discriminatorily impair his ability to effectively communicate, violate his due process right to an interpreter at disciplinary hearings, deny his right to adequate medical treatment, right to informed consent to and privacy in medical treatment, his right to a reasonably safe environment, and deny his right to freedom of speech. Specifically, he claimed that the prison facility failed to provide qualified ASL interpreters and other meaningful auxiliary aids, which prevented adequate communication of disciplinary rules. He further alleged that the absence of qualified interpreters denied him the ability to communicate medical information, give informed consent, and receive mental health services. The plaintiff argued that the use of other inmates as interpreters during medical and mental health appointments violates the constitutional right to privacy in medical treatment. He claimed the defendants failed to provide his right to a reasonably safe environment by failing to provide adequate alarms, pagers, or message boards that would alert him to an emergency. Finally, the plaintiff alleged that the failure to provide him with appropriate telecommunication equipment impaired his ability to communicate with his family and friends outside the prison.

On August 17, 2012, District Judge Huvelle denied the motion for temporary restraining order as moot and converted it into a motion for a preliminary injunction. The defendants opposed the motion on September 4, 2012, because after the plaintiff filed, the BOP assigned him to a different federal detention center in order to provide him with access to the accommodations he sought and place him closer to his family.

The plaintiff responded on September 17 that auxiliary aids the defendants had offered were still insufficient under the Act. He alleged that the new facility in Tucson had no videophones, which he would need to communicate with his two youngest children who could communicate only through sign language, as they were too young to read or write fluently. His home had no telephone line, necessary to use the TTY telephone equipment the defendants offered. One of his children lived with his mother, the plaintiff’s wife, to care for her during her illness, and had access solely to VideoPhone.

The defendants submitted a supplemental declaration on September 25, 2012, outlining the prison’s plan to further accommodate the plaintiff. The parties stipulated to the plan, that included among other things, assigning an inmate to act as the plaintiff’s helper, assistance with the TTY system, providing live interpretation during medical and disciplinary-related activities, installing emergency lights as visual alarms, providing inmate email for public notices and messages, and providing the plaintiff a dry erase board and pens to communicate with staff. The only dispute that the parties were unable to settle was the videophone issue. That same day, Judge Huvelle heard testimony on this issue.

On September 27, 2012, Judge Huvelle ordered the defendants to complete an evaluation by May 25, 2013 to determine whether providing a videophone “would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of a program or activity or in undue financial and administrative burdens.” Judge Huvelle granted the plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction in part because the defendants had failed to meet their burden of proving the installation of a video system would result in undue financial and administrative burdens, but denied the motion insofar as it sought an order requiring the installation. Judge Huvelle approved the parties’ stipulation and administratively closed the matter but maintained jurisdiction in case the plaintiff amended his complaint based on the defendant’s videophone evaluation.

The plaintiff moved for attorney fees on October 9, 2012. Judge Huvelle sent the attorney fees motion to Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola on November 2, 2012. The defendants opposed the plaintiff’s attorney fees motion because they argues he was not the prevailing party, the fees were unreasonably, and the costs were unjustified. On April 29, 2013, Judge Huvelle awarded attorneys fees but reduced what the plaintiff asked for by 40%, for a total of $69,291.60. Judge Huvelle awarded the plaintiff costs related to filing fees, photocopying, deposition transcripts, interpreter services, and the per diem rates for his expert witnesses, totaling $2,744.43, but reduced the amount based on the plaintiff’s level of success to $1,646.66. 942 F.Supp.2d 71.

On May 30, 2013, the defendants notified the Court that the plaintiff had received a written determination regarding his request of a video phone. The case is now closed.
