Case Summary

On May 20, 2019, plaintiffs filed this lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs sought to represent a class of prisoners subjected to unconstitutional conditions in San Francisco county jails. More specifically, they sought to represent people having been confined in their cells for up to 23.5 hours per day with total denial of access to direct sunlight or outdoor recreation.

On May 20, 2019, plaintiffs filed this lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs sought to represent a class of prisoners subjected to unconstitutional conditions in San Francisco county jails. More specifically, they sought to represent people having been confined in their cells for up to 23.5 hours per day with total denial of access to direct sunlight or outdoor recreation. Plaintiffs sued the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Department, the City and County of San Francisco, and four members of the Sheriff’s Department for being directly involved in designing and implementing the policies that led to deprivations of constitutional and statutory rights. Plaintiffs brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against defendants for acting under the color of law to deprive plaintiffs of their constitutional rights. The violative conduct, plaintiffs alleged, constituted cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution and contravened the due process requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment. The plaintiffs also alleged two violations of the California Constitution and brought two tort claims against the Sheriff’s Office for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The plaintiffs, represented by a local civil rights lawyer, sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as compensatory and punitive damages for the physical and emotional ailments incurred due to deprivation of sunlight.

On June 27, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction and, on August 30, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. The court ruled on both motions on January 31, 2020, granting each in part and denying each in part. The preliminary injunction had challenged the sufficiency of the type of sunlight that prisoners received in their cells and the amount of time that inmates confined to their cells for 23.5 hours a day were allotted for outdoor exercise. The court found that the plaintiffs had failed to prove specific harm from degree or quality of sunlight and that the defendants’ denial of outdoor exercise did not warrant a preliminary injunction for convicted prisoners, with a partial exception for prisoners in administrative segregation units. These prisoners were held in cells too small for meaningful exercise for 23.5 hours a day. The court ordered that these prisoners be allowed exercise in the gym for at least one hour a day for five days a week. The court did not order the defendant to provide outdoor exercise for these persons.

However, the court found that for pretrial detainees, denial of direct sunlight for four years constituted unconstitutional punishment. Pretrial detainees, as innocent persons, have the right to be free from punishment generally under the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and not just cruel and unusual punishment vis a vis the Eighth Amendment. The court ordered that the defendant provide at least one hour of exposure to direct sunlight each week for pretrial detainees, absent disciplinary issues.

The motion to dismiss was also granted in part and denied in part. The court dismissed all Eighth Amendment claims by pretrial detainees, deeming them redundant with respect to these plaintiffs’ Fourteenth Amendment Claims. The motion to dismiss the federal claims against individual defendants was also granted because the court found that the defendants could not have reasonably known that they were violating plaintiffs constitutional rights at the time of their acts and were therefore entitled to a defense of qualified immunity. However, qualified immunity does not extend to state law claims, like those leveled under the California Constitution and the common law. Therefore, most of these claims were sustained, although the court required plaintiffs to amend certain elements of their complaint and removed certain defendants for jurisdictional reasons.

On February 28, 2020, the City and County of San Francisco appealed the ruling to the 9th Circuit, and the plaintiffs cross-appealed on March 11. The parties also agreed to a continuance while they continued settlement negotiations. After the settlement negotiations concluded unsuccessfully, San Francisco moved to stay the preliminary injunction pending appeal. The court, however, denied this motion as moot, finding the the preliminary injunction had expired after 90 days and not been extended or made permanent. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit released its opinion on August 26, 2021, holding the district court did not make an error in denying broader relief in the preliminary injunction to the plaintiffs, and dismissing the City's appeal as moot. 10 F.4th 918.

Meanwhile, back in the district court, the plaintiffs filed their class certification motion on December 4, 2020, followed by a second motion for preliminary injunction on January 11, 2021, requesting the initial preliminary injunction be renewed and expanded. Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim denied this motion on March 23, 2021, finding the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly changed the public interest considerations since the first preliminary injunction was partially issued. The court also ruled the San Francisco Sheriff's Department had "engaged in a thorough and specific analysis" of the risks from COVID-19 and struck a balance between protecting mental health and safeguarding against COVID-19 that the court did not have the expertise to second guess.

On August 31, 2021, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for class certification and ordered the parties to meet and confer about either a stipulation on class certification or a stipulation for briefing and hearing on a renewed motion for class certification.

The parties began discovery, and on July 25, 2022, the parties stipulated to class certification. Two days later, on July 27, 2022 Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim granted the stipulation. Class 1 ("Outdoor Class") was defined as all inmates who are pretrial detainees and have been incarcerated in San Francisco Jail 3 located in San Bruno, CA, at any point during the time period May 20, 2017 to present, and who do not have outdoor access as part of their incarceration at San Francisco County Jail 3. Class 2 ("Confinement Class") was defined as all inmates who are pretrial detainees and have been incarcerated in County Jail 3 located in San Bruno, CA, at any point during the same period as Class A, and who have fewer than one hour per 24 hour period of time out of their cells. Subclass 1 ("Confinement Subclass 1") was defined as all inmates in the Confinement Class who are classified by the San Francisco County Sheriff's Office in general population housing. Subclass 2 ("Confinement Subclass 2") was defined as all inmates in the Confinement Class who are classified by the San Francisco County Sheriff's Office in administrative segregation housing. 

After a few more months of discovery, both sides moved for summary judgment in October and November, 2022. 

On April 5, 2023 the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion for summary judgment and denied the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment. The court also granted the defendants' motion to strike the plaintiffs' prayer for damages, striking both compensatory and punitive damages. In regards to the claims for violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and California Constitution for insufficient out-of-cell time, the court denied both motions for summary judgment saying there remained a question of fact as to the constitutionality of time the plaintiffs were allowed out of their cells and whether the defendants' restrictions satisfied rational basis review. The court also denied both motions for summary judgment on the issue of access to sunlight and light in general, explaining that the issue of whether the defendants had a rational reason for creating a situation in which inmates had no access to direct sunlight was fact-dependent. The court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment as to the claim for violation of Article I § 17 of the California Constitution, explaining that this Article mirrors the Eighth Amendment and the Court already found that the Eight Amendment did not apply in this case. 

The court set trial dates for August 8-11, and 15-17, 2023. A final settlement conference was held on July 18, 2023, in which the court outlined settlement terms, but the parties were unable to reach an agreement. 

Following the seven day trial, the court issued its judgment, as well as findings of fact and conclusions of law, on October 17, 2023, ultimately finding in the plaintiffs’ favor, though it did rule in the defendants’ favor on a few claims. 2023 WL 6847576. The court found that by failing to provide the plaintiff’s any access to direct sunlight, the defendant violated the plaintiffs’ rights under the Fourteenth Amendment, and Article I Section 7 of the California Constitution. The court noted in its findings of fact that a lack of sunlight was linked to physical health issues, and found that the defendant was recklessly indifferent to the plaintiffs' needs in that respect. Despite the defendant's arguments, the court contended that there was no real reason why the defendant couldn’t build an exercise yard for outdoor exercise to provide inmates with access to direct sunlight. The court ordered the defendant to offer each inmate who had been incarcerated for longer than a year daily access to direct sunlight for at least 15 minutes (weather permitting and in the absence of an emergency).

The court found for the defendant on the remaining claims, concluding that the defendant did not violate the plaintiffs’ rights by restricting them to their cells during the COVID-19 pandemic (from March 2020 to August 2022), nor were the plaintiffs’ rights violated by the failure to allow them to spend four hours a day out of their cells. The court emphasized that a genuine emergency could serve as a rational basis for complete lockdown and deprivation of certain rights, and concluded that the plaintiffs failed to establish a clear connection between staffing shortages and the denial of sufficient out-of-cell time. The court also noted a lack of evidence demonstrating that, even with full staffing, the defendant could have provided more out-of-cell time during the pandemic. Regarding the general claim for four hours of out-of-cell time for inmates in administrative segregation, the court found a lack of evidence showing harm beyond the inherent discomfort of jail conditions.

The plaintiffs’ motion for attorney’s fees was pending before the court in November 2023, and the case remains open.
