Case Summary

This is a case about the use of long range acoustic devices (LRADs) by New York City Police Officers against civilians in connection with racial justice, anti-police brutality protests. The case took place against the backdrop of recent racial justice protests against the killing of people of color by police officers.On December 4, 2014, the plaintiffs were each protesters, observers, journalists, or filmmakers who were observing, participating in, or documenting a demonstration in response to …

On December 4, 2014, the plaintiffs were each protesters, observers, journalists, or filmmakers who were observing, participating in, or documenting a demonstration in response to a Staten Island grand jury’s decision the previous day not to indict a New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer in the controversial death of Eric Garner. The protest, which began in the afternoon and lasted long into the night, began peacefully; police officers on the scene escorted and facilitated the protests. Police began making arrests sometime in the early morning to some protesters' verbal opposition. After some objects were thrown at police by some of the protesters (none by the Plaintiffs), police deployed pepper spray and the crowd began dispersing. At this time, two officers stood in the street and fired the LRAD at dispersing protesters, identified themselves as officers, and ordered people to stay on the sidewalk and off the street or be placed in custody. The officers walked the length of the street and within three minutes had fired the LRAD between fifteen and twenty times. At certain times when the LRAD was fired, the officers were within ten feet from the Plaintiffs. The plaintiffs reported sustained physical injuries as a result of the acoustics from the LRAD, including migraines, sinus pain, dizziness, facial pressure, ear ringing, and noise sensitivity.

The plaintiffs filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in March 2016, against New York City, the specific officers who fired the LRAD, and the NYPD Commissioner. The plaintiffs claimed that firing the LRAD: (1) caused an unlawful seizure of Plaintiffs’ persons and was excessive force, in violation of the Fourth Amendment; (2) violated Plaintiffs’ right to assemble and express protected speech and that use of the LRAD was in retaliation to the Plaintiffs’ speech; (3) violated the Plaintiffs’ rights to Equal Protection and Due Process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment; (4) that the City of New York had failed to enact proper training, policies, and supervision for the use of LRADs prior to their usage on the night in question, resulting in the constitutional rights violations; (5) constituted either an Assault or Battery under New York state law; (6) constituted false imprisonment under New York state law; (7) was negligent under New York state law; (8) violated rights specified under the New York State Constitution; and (9) that the NYPD Police Commissioner was liable for the conduct of the officers who fired the LRAD.

The government filed a motion to dismiss all charges. On May 31, 2017, Judge Robert W. Sweet of the Southern District of New York partially granted the motion to dismiss. Counts two, three, six, seven, eight, and nine were dismissed but the remaining claims were allowed to proceed. 254 F.Supp.3d 565. The government filed an interlocutory appeal the following June seeking to dismiss the remaining claims using the defense of Qualified Immunity. In August, Judge Sweet granted the government’s motion to stay the remaining proceedings pending the outcome of officers’ qualified immunity defense.

In June 2018, Chief Judge Robert Katzmann of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled against the Defendants and affirmed the District Court denial of the qualified immunity defense for the Fourteenth Amendment claims (254 F.Supp.3d 565). The case was remanded to the District Court and discovery proceedings commenced. One of the Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all of his claims in September of 2019. The government appealed to the Supreme Court but the court denied certiorari.

The parties to the case were referred to a Magistrate Judge in March of 2020 and a settlement conference was scheduled later that year. Following multiple settlement conferences over the remainder of 2020, the parties reached an agreement and the case was ordered dismissed by Judge Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York in January 2021.

The settlement stipulated as follows: In exchange for no admission of guilt by the defendants and the voluntary dismissal of all of the plaintiffs’ claims, the NYPD agreed to implement new guidelines and training materials for the use of LRADs, including banning use of the LRAD deterrent tone altogether, requiring better recordkeeping of LRAD usage, and listing specific operators allowed to use LRADs. The City of New York also paid damages to specific plaintiffs in addition to paying their attorney’s fees. More on the settlement can be read here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/skh6m5ryhy1ixvd/Edrei%20LRAD%20Press%20Release.pdf?dl=0%20%20(cut%20and%20pasted%20below)

The settlement agreement provides for no ongoing court supervision; thus, the case is effectively over.

67	June 13, 2018	OPINION of USCA (Certified) as to 57 Notice of Interlocutory Appeal, filed by Mike Poletto, John Maguire. USCA Case Number 17-2065. Plaintiffs, six individuals who participated in and observed protests in Manhattan on the night of December 4.5, 2014, sued Lieutenant John Maguire and Officer Mike Poletto ("defendants") of the New York Police Department under 42 U.S.C. 1983. The complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants violated plaintiffs' Fourteenth Amendment right against excessive force when they used a long-range acoustic device ("LRAD"), also known as a "sound gun," to disperse non-violent protesters, resulting in significant injuries, including hearing loss. Defendants moved to dismiss, arguing, in part, that they were entitled to qualified immunity because the complaint neither stated a Fourteenth Amendment claim nor alleged a violation of clearly established law. The district court rejected both arguments, reasoning that LRADs, which can cause injuries comparable to those caused by other tools that are capable of excessive force, fit within the scope of existing precedents. For the reasons stated in this opinion, we AFFIRM the district court's order insofar as it denied defendants qualified immunity for the Fourteenth Amendment claim.
