Case Summary

This is a lawsuit challenging Beverly Hills Police Department stop, search, and arrest practices as racially discriminatory.  Two individual plaintiffs filed this putative class action lawsuit on August 30, 2021, in California Superior Court (County of Los Angeles, Case No. 218TCV31949).  Represented by private counsel, they sued the City of Beverly Hills and individual employees of the Beverly Hills Police Department (“BHPD” or the “Department”), bringing claims for violations of state law and…

This is a lawsuit challenging Beverly Hills Police Department stop, search, and arrest practices as racially discriminatory. 

Two individual plaintiffs filed this putative class action lawsuit on August 30, 2021, in California Superior Court (County of Los Angeles, Case No. 218TCV31949).  Represented by private counsel, they sued the City of Beverly Hills and individual employees of the Beverly Hills Police Department (“BHPD” or the “Department”), bringing claims for violations of state law and Fourteenth Amendment substantive and procedural due process, malicious prosecution, false imprisonment, and unreasonable search and seizure.  Plaintiffs sought damages, costs, and fees.  

On November 3, 2021, defendants removed the lawsuit to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where it was originally assigned to District Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha.  Plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint on January 19, 2022, and defendants filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on February 25, 2022.  On April 7, 2022, the court granted leave for plaintiffs to file a second amended complaint, which they filed on April 21, 2022.  Defendants again filed a motion to dismiss, on June 3, 2022.  While the motion to dismiss was pending, the parties began engaging in discovery.  On February 17, 2023, the case was transferred to Judge Fernando M. Olguin.  On May 26, 2023, plaintiffs moved to file a third amended complaint, which the defendants opposed.  On June 29, 2023, the court granted plaintiffs’ request to file a third amended complaint, which plaintiffs filed on June 30, 2023.  

The third amended complaint was filed on behalf of six individual plaintiffs seeking to represent a class of “all Black people who were detained or arrested by the City of Beverly Hills Police Department (“BHPD”) from August 30, 2019 through August 30, 2021 without being convicted of any crime,” including two subclasses of Black people arrested by particular task forces during certain time periods, none of whom were convicted after arrest.  The complaint asserted that arrests in Beverly Hills during the challenged period disproportionately, and intentionally, targeted Black people.  Plaintiffs alleged rates of arrest that far outstripped the proportion of Black people in the city and state, including one two-month period during which 90% of people arrested in Beverly Hills were Black, even though the city is only 1.95% Black.  They challenged BHPD policies and practices that promoted pretextual stops and targeted Black people for arrest for minor infractions. Suing the City of Beverly Hills and 11 individual police officers, including several former chiefs of the Department, plaintiffs brought claims under 42 U.S.C. s 1983 for violations of their Fourteenth Amendment procedural and substantive due process rights, including for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment, unreasonable searches and seizures in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and discrimination in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.  They sought damages, costs and fees, and a consent decree preventing BHPD from racial profiling.  

Defendants again moved to dismiss on July 19, 2023, arguing, among other things, that the putative class definition was overbroad, that certain claims were time-barred, and that the alleged facts failed to support the underlying claims. The motion to dismiss the third amended complaint remains pending as of September 2023.

(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER by Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha: On January 19, 2022, Plaintiffs filed the First Amended Complaint ("FAC"), asserting claims against Defendants including individuals identified as "Sergeant D.D.," "Officer J.I.," and "Officer J.D." (Dkt. 25 ). On March 23, 2022, Plaintiffs requested the Clerk issue Summons with respect to individuals identified as "Sergeant Dale Drummond," "Officer Jon Ilusorio," and "Officer Jonathan De La Cruz." (Dkts. 30, 31, 32 ). The Clerk rejected Plaintiffs' requests on the grounds that the names listed in the "TO" area of the requests did not match the names listed in the caption of the FAC. (Dkt. 34 ). Accordingly, the court ORDERS Plaintiffs to file, by April 8, 2022, either (1) an amended complaint that names these Defendants by their proper names or (2) a statement establishing that it is proper for Plaintiffs to maintain suit and to serve these individuals by pseudonyms, supported by relevant legal authority. The court CONTINUES the hearing on Defendant City of Beverly Hills' (the "City") Motion to Dismiss, (Dkt. 27 ), to April 29, 2022. If Plaintiffs file an amended complaint, the City's Motion to Dismiss will be denied as moot, without prejudice to the filing of a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
