Case Summary

On May 4, 2016, the plaintiffs filed this class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiffs sued the County of Ventura, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, the Ventura County Sheriff, and other county and state medical hospital administrators ("the defendants") under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiffs asked the court for …

On May 4, 2016, the plaintiffs filed this class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiffs sued the County of Ventura, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, the Ventura County Sheriff, and other county and state medical hospital administrators ("the defendants") under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiffs asked the court for declaratory and injunctive relief as well as monetary compensation.

The plaintiffs sought class action certification to bring this case on behalf of all persons who have been, during the time period of November 30, 2013, until the filling of the lawsuit, and/or who will be in the future: (1) incarcerated at the Ventura County Pre-Trial Detention Facility and/or the Todd Road Jail; (2) charged with a crime in Ventura County, California; (3) found by a court to be incompetent to stand trial and are held in custody while awaiting competency restoration services; and (4) have waited for court-ordered restoration services for seven or more days from the date on which the court entered an order for the Sheriff to transfer the person to a treatment facility.

In their complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants failed to evaluate in a timely fashion and provide adequate mental health treatment and restorative services to detainees who were found incompetent to stand trial and were awaiting transfer to treatment facilities. Some plaintiffs waited for weeks or months to be admitted to a treatment facility. As a result, the plaintiffs remained in the county's pre-trial detention center or jail. The plaintiffs alleged that while being held pre-trial, the plaintiffs were punished for behavior that arose as a result of their mental illnesses. Such disciplinary measures included loss of commissary, loss of visits, and isolation in a safety cell.

The complaint claimed that the defendants continued incarceration of inmates found unable to aid and assist in their own trials violated the plaintiffs' due process rights. The only lawful purpose for confinement of such inmates is to treat so as to return them to competency. Since the defendants do not have the capacity to provide the restorative mental health treatment required by the Constitution, the plaintiffs alleged a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Additionally, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial by unnecessarily prolonging the incarceration of inmates with mental illnesses. Finally, the plaintiffs argued that the defendants' failure to provide reasonable accommodations to inmates with mental illnesses amounted to a violation of the ADA.

On July 28, 2016, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint further alleging violations of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and California law.

From September 2, 2016, through September 12, 2016, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the case, specifically for failure to state a claim, or for a more definite statement.

On October 24, 2017, Judge Beverly Reid O'Connell granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motions to dismiss. Judge O'Connell also ordered the plaintiffs to file a more definite statement and an amended complaint.

Following Judge O'Connell's order, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint against the defendants on November 7, 2016.

From December 6, 2016, through December 7, 2016, the defendants again filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs' case for failure to state a claim.

On March 7, 2017, Judge O'Connell granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motions to dismiss. Judge O'Connell again ordered the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint, this time containing the names of the potential class members and amendments to their claims.

Weeks later, the plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint against all defendants on March 27, 2017, per Judge O'Connell's order.

In response to the plaintiffs' third amended complaint, the defendants filed motions to dismiss on March 4, 2017, and on May 30, 2017. In between these dates, on May 15, 2017, the parties stipulated to dismiss one of the plaintiffs' claims without prejudice.

On July 19, 2017, Judge O'Connell granted permission to the plaintiffs to file a fourth amended complaint in this case. As a result, the defendants withdrew their pending motions to dismiss the third amended complaint. The next day, the plaintiffs filed a fourth amended complaint.

In response, the defendants filed another motion to dismiss the case on August 28, 2017, but Judge Fischer denied this motion on October 30, 2017.

While considering the defendants' fourth motion to dismiss, the court announced that the motion to dismiss would be transferred to Judge Dale S. Fischer.

While litigation continued, Judge Fischer referred this case to a private mediator on November 21, 2017 for alternative dispute resolution.

For almost 3 years, the parties prepared for trial. During this time, though, the parties informed the court on January 28, 2020, that they had reached a tentative settlement agreement. On August 10, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a status report with the court regarding this tentative agreement.

The status report stated that the plaintiffs would file an unopposed motion for class certification, and that the defendants would pay $650,000 into a damages class fund and $650,000 for attorneys' fees. As a result, the plaintiffs' claims for injunctive and declaratory relief would be dismissed with prejudice with the understanding that such issues would be litigated in the related case Stiavetti v. Ahlin.

Following the status report, Judge Fischer granted the plaintiff's motion for class certification on September 30, 2020, defining the class as all persons who: (1) were found incompetent to stand trial (IST) by a court, confined to Ventura County jail, admitted to a California Department of State Hospital (DSH) facility, and restored to competency and discharged between May 5, 2013 (three years prior to the filing of the complaint in this case) and the date this motion was filed (September 6, 2020); and (2) were not admitted to a DSH facility within 28 days from the date of the Court's Commitment Order committing an IST defendant to the DSH.

Money from the damages class fund would be distributed to each class member based on how many days the individual spent waiting for transport to a DSH facility beyond those 28 days.

While Judge Fischer preliminarily approved the settlement order on October 2, 2021, the court entered a final approval order on June 24, 2021. As of that date, the plaintiffs determined that a total of 252 class members satisfied the criteria to share in the settlement distribution.

The court retained jurisdiction to ensure the fulfillment of the settlement agreement, though as of February 16, 2022, there is no reason to believe the case is ongoing.
