On August 7, 1997, the Humanists of Washington and the National Prison Project of the ACLU filed a § 1983 claim against the Washington Department of Corrections [DOC] in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, challenging restrictions on prison regulations regarding inmate mail. Plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief.

Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. That motion was denied by the District Court (Judge Franklin D. Burgess) on February 2, 1998.

Thereafter, the parties engaged in settlement negotiations and reached a resolution of the case. An Order Approving Stipulation for Approval of Settlement and Entry of Judgment was entered on October 22, 1999. The Settlement Agreement provided for changes to DOC regulations governing inmate mail, which included changes to the mail rejection process, handling of legal materials. The Agreement also incorporated the DOC policy changes that were addressed in the cases Miniken v. Walter, 978 F.Supp. 1356 (E.D.Wash. 1997) [PC-WA-11 of this collection] and Crofton V. Roe, 170 F.3d 957 (9th Cir. 1999). [PC-WA-5].

On June 14, 2004, the District Court entered a Stipulated Order to Terminate Relief Provisions of Release and Settlement Agreement of October 22, 1999, noting that no enforcement actions had been brought been either party. The case was then administratively closed. We have no further information on the matter.
