Case Summary

On December 4, 2018, three men with hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the custody of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC), proceeding pro se, filed a motion for class certification in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.  They sought to certify a class of ODRC prisoners who had undergone unsuccessful Interferon/Ribovirin treatment for Hepatitis C (HCV), at different stages of the disease, and were denied direct acting antiviral drugs.  Plaintiffs …

On December 4, 2018, three men with hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the custody of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC), proceeding pro se, filed a motion for class certification in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.  They sought to certify a class of ODRC prisoners who had undergone unsuccessful Interferon/Ribovirin treatment for Hepatitis C (HCV), at different stages of the disease, and were denied direct acting antiviral drugs.  Plaintiffs filed their complaint on December 11, 2018 alleging deliberate indifference to serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment against the ORDC, named directors of medical care at ODRC, as well as unnamed doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers who they alleged to be responsible for providing healthcare to prisoners across ODRC.  Plaintiffs alleged that they, and putative class members, had all been denied proper treatment for their HCV, because ODRC only provided direct acting antiviral treatment to individuals with severe, late stage HCV marked by an APRI of over 1.5.  Plaintiffs sought declaratory relief, injunctive relief requiring defendants to adhere to the proper standard of HCV care, and compensatory damages no less than fifty million dollars. The case was initially assigned to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Preston Deavers and Judge George C. Smith. 

Plaintiffs filed a motion for appointment of counsel on December 4, 2018, but the court denied their request on June 26, 2019.  The state of Ohio as an interested party filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim on February 20, 2019. The named defendants then filed their own motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim on March 6, 2019. In response, on April 3, 2019 the court issued the plaintiffs an order to show cause by April 24, 2019 as to why their action should not be dismissed regarding two named defendants, ODRC's Chief Medical Officer and Director. Two days later, the court vacated the order as to ODRC's Director, who then filed her own motion to dismiss on April 29, 2019. On June 17, 2019, ODRC's Chief Medical Officer also filed a separate motion to dismiss. 

On June 26, 2019, Magistrate Judge Deavers issued a report and recommendation recommending granting in part and denying in part Ohio's motion to dismiss; in particular, granting with respect to ODRC, but denying as to the other named defendants. The court also recommended that plaintiffs' motion to appoint class counsel be denied without prejudice to refiling. Defendants objected on July 7, 2019. They argued that the motion to dismiss should be granted as to the named defendant employees of ODRC and that, because they had provided proper HCV treatment to plaintiffs, the case should be dismissed. On July 24, 2019, Judge Smith sustained objections filed by the defendants and granted the named employees' motion to dismiss for failing to properly allege employer liability. Judge Smith adopted the remaining recommendations from Magistrate Judge Deavers's report and recommendation in full.

On August 26, 2019, Magistrate Judge Deavers issued a report and recommendation granting the motions to dismiss filed by the ODRC Chief Medical Officer and Director. Judge Smith adopted Judge Preston Deavers's report and recommendation a month later on September 26, 2019, entering final judgment in favor of defendants and ordering the case closed. 

Plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on October 24, 2019. On appeal, plaintiffs were represented by the ACLU of Ohio.  They raised two issues on appeal. First, that the District Court improperly dismissed their Eighth Amendment claims against ODRC because plaintiffs' sufficiently demonstrated deliberate indifference to their serous medical needs. And second, that the district court erred in dismissing plaintiffs' Eighth Amendment claims against the named employees of ODRC on a theory of employer liability. A year later on August 3, 2020, the Sixth Circuit remanded the case to the District Court to determine factual issues that had arisen since plaintiffs had appealed their judgment in October 2019. 814 Fed. App'x 134.  The Sixth Circuit directed the District Court to consider: (1) whether the plaintiffs request for injunctive relief was moot because each named plaintiff had received at least some of the medication they requested; (2) a newly raised qualified immunity defense; and (3) whether ODRC's updated HCV treatment policy otherwise altered the landscape of the litigation. 

After minimal proceedings on remand, upon which the case was reassigned to Judge Edmund A. Sargus, the parties entered a stipulation of dismissal on February 2, 2021.  As of October 2022, all litigation in the case appears to have ended.
