Case Summary

On July 22, 2015, a private citizen filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiff sued several Pinal County officials, including the county attorney, sheriff, clerk of the superior court, and deputy county attorney, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Represented by private counsel and the ACLU, the plaintiff sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as monetary damages. The case was assigned to Judge Diane Joyce Humetewa. The plaintiff claimed that the en…

The plaintiff claimed that the enforcement of Arizona’s Civil Asset Forfeiture Laws were facially unconstitutional. Under Arizona law, law enforcement could seize any property they alleged was involved in a crime and then keep or sell the property. Even if the owner was never charged or convicted of a crime, they could keep the property. The plaintiff’s truck was seized while her son was using it by police who alleged it was stolen. When the plaintiff tried to fight the claim that it had been stolen, she was threatened by the defendants who told her she would have to pay attorneys fees and other costs if she lost the suit. She alleged violations of her First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff’s Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment due process rights had been violated since the Arizona forfeiture laws improperly financially motivated the defendants to seize property. These rights were also violated by the uncontested forfeiture nature of the law.

The plaintiff also claimed that because the costs to recover her truck were greater than the value of the truck, there was an unconstitutional burden on her ability to petition the state to redress her grievances. This and the filing fees the plaintiff had to pay to start a claim were violations of the First Amendment. In addition, the Fourth Amendment was violated when the plaintiff’s truck was illegally seized.

On October 9, 2015, the defendant county clerk of the superior court filed a motion to dismiss. On the same day the rest of the defendants (“party defendants”) also filed a motion to dismiss.

On October 9, 2015, the State of Arizona filed a motion to intervene to defend the constitutionality of Arizona statutes. On October 27, the court granted the motion to intervene. On the same day, the state filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and for lack of jurisdiction.

On August 18, 2017, the court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss as to the party defendants and granted the motion in regards to the defendant county clerk of the superior court. As to the state’s motion to dismiss, the court granted in part and denied in part.

The court first addressed whether the plaintiff’s claims were barred by the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine as asserted by all of the defendants. The doctrine prevented a losing party in state court from filing suit in federal district court if the losing party complained of an injury caused by a state court judgment and sought federal court review and rejection of that judgment. The defendants argued that the plaintiff was seeking federal review of the state court judgment regarding the seizure of her truck which was barred by the doctrine. The court found that the doctrine did not apply to the plaintiff’s case because the plaintiff was challenging the forfeiture statutes, not whether the state court had wrongly determined that her truck was subject to forfeiture.

Next, the court considered the party defendants' argument that the plaintiff lacked standing because she had not established an injury-in-fact. The court found that the plaintiff had properly shown that her injury had stemmed from enforcement of the relevant statutes and that because they were still in effect, she could be injured by them in the future.

The court then separately considered the standing issue as to the defendant clerk. Since the filing of the lawsuit the statute had been amended, there was no longer a filing fee in order to contest the seizure of property. For this reason, the First Amendment and Due Process claims against the defendant county clerk were now moot and consequently dismissed.

The court also found that the plaintiff’s claim was not precluded because the plaintiff’s claims in state court were legally and factually distinct from those asserted in federal court. Claims against the deputy county attorney were dismissed as the court found that he had absolute immunity. The defendant deputy sheriff was found to have qualified immunity. Lastly, the court dismissed one of the plaintiff's due process claims that was based on the cumulative combination of failures of the defendants. Since the state had amended the statute to no longer charge a filing fee, this specific claim was moot. 2017 WL 11205981.

On September 1, 2017, Arizona and the remaining defendants, the county attorney and county sheriff, both filed motions for clarification on the court’s order. On September 27, 2017, the court denied Arizona’s motion, but granted the defendants’ motion. 2017 WL 11205975.

On April 27, 2018, the plaintiff filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice that noted that the parties had reached a settlement. The details of the settlement were not made public. On April 30, 2018, the court approved the stipulation and dismissed the case with prejudice. Each party bore their own attorneys fees and costs. This case is closed.
