Case Summary

COVID-19 Summary: This is a habeas action filed by individuals in the Shelby County Jail who alleged that their underlying medical conditions made them especially vulnerable to COVID-19. They alleged violations of the Fourteenth Amendment, ADA, and Rehabilitation Act and requested release. The court denied both preliminary relief and motions to dismiss. The parties moved for preliminary approval of class action settlement, which was granted on January 28, 2021; the court gave final approval of …

Two individuals with medical conditions that rendered them especially vulnerable to COVID-19 filed this petition for a writ of habeas corpus on May 20, 2020 against the Shelby County Sheriff's Office in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. They sought to represent a class of Shelby County Jail detainees with disabilities or who were medically vulnerable to COVID-19. Represented by lawyers from the ACLU as well as private counsel, they alleged violations of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (42 U.S.C. §§ 12111 et seq.), and the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 701).

Specifically, plaintiffs alleged that conditions in the jail, like housing detainees in close proximity to one another, constituted a failure to provide reasonable safety as well as unlawful punishment of pretrial detainees. They also claimed that defendants were violating the ADA and Rehabilitation Act because they had not made reasonable modifications to their policies to avoid discriminating against detainees with disabilities, who were particularly likely to be affected by COVID. Judge Sheryl H. Lipman was assigned the case.

Simultaneously with the initial petition, plaintiffs sought class certification, a temporary restraining order (TRO) or writ of habeas corpus that would immediately release the named plaintiffs, and a TRO, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction and/or writ of habeas corpus that would create a process by which class members could be released. Plaintiffs filed a motion to expedite consideration of the TRO and preliminary injunction.

The following day, Judge Lipman granted the motion to expedite consideration of the TRO and preliminary injunction, instructing defendants to file a response by May 26. Defendants did so, filing a motion to dismiss, a response in opposition to the motion for class certification, and a response in opposition to the motion for a temporary restraining order. Defendants' responses indicated that they had a thorough process for dealing with COVID-19 and were trying to decrease the population of the jail.

By June 10, Judge Lipman issued an order denying defendant's motion for dismissal. She explained that habeas relief was properly sought because plaintiffs challenged the "fact," not conditions, of confinement. Judge Lipman also denied in part and granted in part plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. The court granted class certification but narrowed its scope. The certified class consisted of detainees (1) age 65 or older; or with (2) chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma; (3) serious heart conditions; (4) immunodeficiencies; (5) severe obesity; (6) diabetes; (7) chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis; (8) chronic liver disease; or (9) hemoglobin disorders. The court also certified a subclass defined as "All persons currently or in the future held at the Jail in pretrial custody during the COVID19 pandemic who are at increased risk of COVID-19 complications or death because of disabilities as defined in the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act." 2020 WL 3108713.

Two days later, Judge Lipman addressed the motion for a temporary restraining order. She found that the factual record was not developed enough to rule and ordered the parties to agree on an "Independent Inspector" who would visit the jail and report back to the court.

A few days later, plaintiffs submitted an amended complaint which added two more named plaintiffs.

Meanwhile, by June 18 the parties had settled on Michael K. Brady as Independent Inspector. The Inspector filed his report on June 30, 2020. He found that the jail was run by "consummate professionals" but still needed to make several adjustments to ensure the safety of its detainees, including issuing additional masks, improving sanitation, and sequestering new arrivals and high-risk detainees.

On June 30, defendants submitted another motion to dismiss, this time targeting plaintiffs’ amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

The court denied the motion on July 24, 2020. Judge Lipman criticized defendants' "needless filing" of a second motion to dismiss. She noted that defendants' arguments either had been raised and rejected in the first motion to dismiss or should have been raised in the earlier motion. Judge Lipman then rejected the new arguments on the merits because (1) pretrial detainees can bring unconstitutional punishment claims; (2) neither the ADA nor the Rehabilitation Act required proof of discriminatory intent; and (3) habeas relief was available for detainees alleging that their continued detention violated the ADA and Rehabilitation Act. 2020 WL 4668756.

On August 7, the court rejected plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunctive relief and habeas relief. Judge Lipman noted that habeas relief was only available if plaintiffs showed that it was impossible for the jail to detain them in compliance with the Constitution, ADA, and Rehabilitation Act. But she found that "any shortcomings are remediable," while acknowledging continuing concerns about the lack of social distancing, testing, and quarantine at the jail. 2020 WL 4668757.

On September 15, 2020, plaintiffs moved to modify class certification and file a second amended petition for habeas corpus, alleging that defendants had "temporarily made improvements to certain conditions, apparently in preparation for the inspections by court-appointed inspector," but those improvements "lapsed shortly after the inspections occurred," as well as adding additional named plaintiffs, and including a more detailed request for injunctive relief.

After attending mediation, on December 28, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a notice of settlement, and the parties filed a joint motion to approve the consent judgment on January 22, 2021. This included a signed settlement agreement between the parties and a consent decree. The consent decree stated that the defendants must provide the Inspector and plaintiffs with a monthly report that details the population of the jail, number of COVID-19 tests conducts for detainees and staff, number of staff on leave in the past 30 days due to COVID-19 symptoms, number of detainees who died and exhibited symptoms of or tested positive for COVID-19 prior to death, and type of housing for class and subclass members. The decree also mandated unannounced inspections and reports by the Inspector at least every 90 days and unrestricted communications with the jail's Expeditor. The decree also required the defendants to prove that ventilation and air quality in the jail was safe, perform testing, isolation, and quarantine where applicable, provide masks, heightened laundry and cleaning options, maximize social distancing. The consent decree provided for termination upon a declaration from the CDC and the Tennessee Department of Health that the COVID-19 pandemic was over, or if an FDA approved, COVID-19 vaccine was offered to and administered to detainees.

On January 28, the court preliminarily granted the motion and ordered the parties to notify the class of the terms of the settlement in advance of the final approval hearing on March 5, 2021. About 70 individual detainees sent letters to the court, many objecting to the notice given to class members or the settlement agreement's terms, or stating concern with the defendant's ability to comply. After 2 final approval hearings, the court granted final approval of the settlement on April 12, 2021, noting that none of the objections led them to believe the settlement was unfair, unreasonable or inadequate. The court retained jurisdiction for enforcement purposes.

On May 19, 2021 the plaintiffs filed a motion to enforce and modify the consent decree. They stated that only a week after the decree was approved, defendants had informed plaintiffs that the protections in the decree had terminated, since the first doses of COVID-19 vaccines had been offered to people in the jail. Plaintiffs argued that defendants had not satisfied the requirements of the decree and that class members in the jail were still at great risk. Specifically, plaintiffs sought enforcement of the decree, requiring defendants to: offer educational materials and non-punitive incentives to increase the vaccination rate; make best efforts to adopt the Independent Inspector's recommendations; adopt recommendations of the Ventilation expert; establish a toll-free number to allow class members to report to counsel regarding decree compliance. Plaintiffs also sought modification of the initial decree's terms regarding termination to clarify that a more robust vaccination program and 80% vaccination rate among detainees for a consecutive 3 month period must be achieved before the decree could be terminated.

Shortly thereafter, on June 2, the defendants filed a motion to terminate the consent decree. They argued they had complied with the terms of the decree by offering vaccines, educational materials and non-punitive incentives to detainees in order to encourage detainees to become vaccinated and that the termination provisions regarding vaccines had been met, so the decree should be terminated.

On August 30, 2021 the court denied the defendants' motion to terminate the consent decree. In denying the defendant's request, Judge Lipman stated that "The Consent Decree did not enshrine mere box-checking. It enshrined meaningful protection for Plaintiffs, a medically vulnerable group" and pointed to the low vaccination rate in the jail and the rise of the Delta variant as being signs that the decree was still necessary to protect the detainees in the jail.

The defendants appealed the decision on September 3, 2021 and the case remains ongoing.
