Case Summary

On June 26, 2020, three individuals filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. The suit arose out of the protests that swept the nation following the police killing of George Floyd in May of 2020. The suit alleged that Fort Wayne Police Officers used chemical weapons, flash bang grenades, and rubber bullets on individuals peacefully protesting. They brought suit against the City of Fort Wayne and the Allen County Sheriff, arguing that these actions const…

On June 26, 2020, three individuals filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. The suit arose out of the protests that swept the nation following the police killing of George Floyd in May of 2020. The suit alleged that Fort Wayne Police Officers used chemical weapons, flash bang grenades, and rubber bullets on individuals peacefully protesting. They brought suit against the City of Fort Wayne and the Allen County Sheriff, arguing that these actions constituted a violation of 42 U.S.C. Section 1983. Specifically, plaintiffs claimed that these actions were violations of the First Amendment's guarantees of free speech, free assembly, and free petition. They also argued that the defendants used excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment. They sought declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and money damages, as well as attorney's fees and costs. Plaintiffs were represented by counsel from the ACLU of Indiana.

The case was assigned to Judge Holly A. Brady and Magistrate Judge Susan L. Collins on June 29. However, that same day Judge Brady recused herself and the case was reassigned to Judge Damon R. Leichty.

On July 2, 2020, plaintiffs submitted an amended complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief which added several individuals as plaintiffs along with two organizations: Black and Brown Liberation and the ACLU of Indiana. The legal claims and sought-after relief remained the same. That same day, plaintiffs submitted a motion for a preliminary injunction. The parties began to engage in preliminary discovery related to the motion for a preliminary injunction. The court set a hearing for October 15-16.

The plaintiffs amended the complaint again on August 28, 2020. They voluntarily dismissed one of the individual plaintiffs and also dismissed the Allen Country Sheriff as a defendant. The defendants agreed to the dismissal, and the parties stipulated that the City of Fort Wayne did not need to file an additional answer to the amended complaint.

As the hearing on the preliminary injunction neared, the plaintiffs then filed a motion to withdraw the motion for a preliminary injunction and to vacate the hearing on October 1, 2020. The court granted the motion the next day. As discovery seemed to continue, the plaintiffs also stipulated to a dismissal of their claims seeking injunctive or declaratory relief but retained their damages actions.

As of May 23, 2022, the case appears to be ongoing.

ORDER re 26 MOTION to Modify Scheduling Order. The court MODIFIES its preliminary injunction schedule as follows: The parties must exchange any opening expert report pertaining to the preliminary injunction request on or before 8/27/2020. Any rebuttal or supplement to these reports must be exchanged on or by 9/10/2020. The plaintiffs' brief, including any declarations and supporting documentary evidence, must be filed on or before 8/27/2020. The defendants' brief, including any declarations and supporting documentary evidence, must be filed on or before 10/1/2020. The parties may file an oversized brief up to 45 pages. All depositions related to the preliminary injunction request must be completed by 9/24/2020. The parties must work together to ensure the prompt scheduling of depositions in compliance with this order's timing and after exchange of their respective witness lists. The parties must file their final witness lists and a joint exhibit list with the court on or by 10/5/2020. The plaintiff's reply brief must be filed on or by 10/9/2020. All materials must be served electronically to facilitate immediate receipt. The provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e) will apply in recognition of the expedited nature of this pre-hearing work. To facilitate an efficient resolution to the motion for preliminary injunction, the court limits all preliminary discovery to the issues concerning injunctive relief and not damages. The parties are encouraged to resolve all discovery disputes without the court's assistance consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; but, in the event they can't, the parties must contact the court so that it may promptly schedule a telephonic hearing to address the issue, without filing any motion to compel. This provision doesnt apply to third-party discovery. The two-day evidentiary hearing remains set in Fort Wayne, Indiana for October 15-16, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. The court may modify this schedule at any time for good cause.
