Case Summary

On October 15, 2018, individuals without secure housing filed this class-action lawsuit suing the city of Grants Pass, Oregon (the “City”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by the Oregon Law Center, the plaintiffs challenged the City’s enforcement of Grants Pass’s anti-sleeping ordinance, anti-camping ordinance, park exclusion ordinance, and criminal trespass laws stemming from violations of these ordinances as unconstitutional under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S Constitution. The plaintiffs sought injunctive relief prohibiting the City from enforcing the ordinances and criminal trespass laws until the class members had the opportunity to obtain shelter. The plaintiffs also sought declaratory relief as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. The plaintiffs’ counsel had contacted the City on September 10, 2018, to demand relief, but the parties were unable to resolve the dispute outside of court.

The case was assigned to Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke. Both parties consented to jurisdiction by a magistrate judge for the entirety of the case. On January 2, 2019, the City amended its ordinance, removing “sleeping” from the definition of camping in an attempt to comply with a previous case, Martin v. Boise, which held that an ordinance punishing people for sleeping outside was unconstitutional when there was nowhere else for them to go. In amending its ordinance, the City meant to clarify that the act of “sleeping” no longer automatically constituted illegal “camping,” permitting those without shelter to sleep or rest in the City’s parks.

The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 28, 2019, to add information about two additional plaintiffs. The plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on March 8, 2019, adding an additional individual to the plaintiff’s attorneys.

On March 13, 2019, the plaintiffs moved to certify the class. After a hearing, Magistrate Judge Clarke granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification on August 7, 2019. 2019 WL 3717800. The court defined the class as:

All involuntarily homeless individuals living in Grants Pass, Oregon, including homeless individuals who sometimes sleep outside city limits to avoid harassment and punishment by Defendant as addressed in this lawsuit.

The plaintiffs then filed their third amended complaint on November 13, 2019 to add an additional challenge to park exclusions under the Due Process Clause. On January 17, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment and requested an oral argument. The defendant responded with a joint motion for summary judgment on February 28, 2020.

On July 22, 2020, Magistrate Judge Clarke denied the defendant’s motion for summary judgment, and he granted in part and denied in part the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment. Magistrate Judge Clarke granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on the procedural due process claim because the park exclusions would go into effect immediately and were not stayed for appeal, leaving a person excluded from a park subject to arrest for reentry as soon as they received the exclusion notice. The court concluded that the deficient appeal procedures were unconstitutional and violated the procedural protections of due process. However, the court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on their equal protection claim because the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that the ordinances were selectively enforced and motivated by a discriminatory purpose. Likewise, summary judgment was denied on the plaintiffs’ substantive due process claim because they failed to convince the court that they had a liberty interest to sleep or camp in a public place and had not shown that the city engaged in “conscience shocking behavior.” 2020 WL 4209227.

The court also found that the ordinances violated the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment because they punished people for sleeping or resting outside with a blanket when they had no other place to go due to the City’s lack of adequate shelter. The ordinances also violated the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment because the plaintiffs were being punished for trying to live, and likely could not afford to pay the fines, resulting in additional fees and punishments that made it even more difficult for them to find housing. 2020 WL 4209227.

On August 26, 2020, Judge Clarke issued an injunction enjoining the enforcement of three city ordinances against the plaintiff class. The City could not enforce the park exclusion ordinance, which allowed police officers to issue an order barring a person from all City park properties if the individual had been issued two or more citations violating regulations relating to city parks, or one citation violating state laws while on city park property. Unless it gave at least a 24-hour warning, the City also could not enforce the camping ordinances, which prohibited setting up or remaining on public property. Finally, the City could not enforce the criminal trespassing ordinance in city parks during nighttime hours.

That same day, the city of Grants Pass appealed the district court’s grant of partial summary judgment and its permanent injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (No. 20-35752). The Ninth Circuit’s decision on September 28, 2022, affirmed that the city’s “anti-camping” ordinance prohibiting individuals from using bedding supplies violated the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause. The case was remanded with direction to the district court to narrow its injunction to only enjoin enforcement of ordinances against unhoused individuals who take necessary measures to keep themselves warm and safe when there is no shelter available. Furthermore, the Ninth Circuit vacated the grant of summary judgment on the procedural due process claim and remanded with instructions to dismiss the claim as moot because the City amended the ordinance so it was no longer unconstitutional. 50 F.4th 787.

In the meantime, the plaintiffs filed a motion for costs and attorneys’ fees on September 9, 2020. The parties thereafter, by October 5, 2020, reached an agreement for the plaintiffs to receive $300,000 with interest for their costs and attorneys’ fees. 2020 WL 6060925. Three days later, on October 8, the City appealed to the Ninth Circuit (No. 20-35881).

The City filed a petition for en banc review with the Ninth Circuit on November 14, 2022.

On July 5, 2023, the Ninth Circuit amended the opinion it issued on September 28, 2022. It amended the order to deny the petition for rehearing en banc, reasoning that Grants Pass provided exceptionally limited protection and was consistent with Supreme Court precedent. The court further stated that future petitions for rehearing or rehearing en banc would not be entertained in this case.

In response to the Ninth Circuit’s denial for a rehearing en banc, the City filed a petition for writ of certiorari on August 22, 2023, requesting the Supreme Court to rule on whether laws regulating camping on public property constituted cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. 2023 WL 5530379.

On January 16, 2024, the Supreme Court granted certiorari.

As of March 3, 2024, this case was ongoing.
