Case Summary

On March 27, 2001, several arrestees, represented by private counsel, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, challenging the City of Newburgh's blanket policy of strip searching all individuals who entered the City Jail, regardless of the crime for which they were charged and despite the absence of reasonable suspicion to believe that the individuals were concealing weapons or contraband.

On March 27, 2001, several arrestees, represented by private counsel, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, challenging the City of Newburgh's blanket policy of strip searching all individuals who entered the City Jail, regardless of the crime for which they were charged and despite the absence of reasonable suspicion to believe that the individuals were concealing weapons or contraband. Plaintiffs alleged that the policy violated the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and sought a preliminary and permanent injunction, monetary damages, and class certification.

Plaintiff moved simultaneously for class certification and summary judgment. In response, Defendants requested that the court defer issuing a ruling on the question of liability until the class certification issue was resolved. The District Court (Judge Colleen McMahon) agreed to defer the liability issue, but granted class certification on the limited issue of whether Defendants maintained an unconstitutional strip search policy. Maneely v. City of Newburgh, 208 F.R.D. 69 (S.D.N.Y. 2002).

By order dated April 8, 2003, Judge McMahon denied Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, finding that (a) the City's written strip search policy was not unconstitutional on its face and that (b) fact issues existed as to whether the City had a policy of strip searching pre-arraignment detainees without determining whether reasonable suspicion existed to do so. Maneely v. City of Newburgh, 256 F.Supp.2d 204 (S.D.N.Y. 2003).

On December 22, 2003, the City of Newburgh filed a third-party complaint against its insurance carrier, United National Insurance, seeking declaratory judgment that the carrier would be responsible for covering any damages paid in the lawsuit.

The case was subsequently referred to mediation, and settlement negotiations ensued. The parties eventually entered into a proposed Settlement Agreement to resolve both the class action lawsuit against the City and the third-party complaint against the City's insurance carrier. The District Court (Judge Charles L. Brieant) preliminarily approved the settlement on March 29, 2005 and granted final approval on July 21, 2005.

Under the Agreement, the City agreed to pay up to $1,783,670.20 to settle all class claims. Of that amount, the Court awarded $550,000 (30.84%) as attorneys' fees and $33,670.20 (1.88%) for litigation costs. The Court also approved an incentive bonus of $25,000 to the class representative. After deducting attorneys' fees, litigation costs, and the incentive bonus, up to $1.2 million would remain for distribution to class members. The City also agreed to pay $324,000 for the costs of claims administration. The Agreement provided that each class member would receive $1,000 regardless of the number of strip searches they claimed to have been subjected to. If less than 1,200 claims were made, the remainder was to revert back to the City. If more than 1,200 claims were made, the $1,000 award would be reduced on a pro rata basis.

On September 6, 2005, the City of Newburgh secured voluntary dismissal (with prejudice) of its third-party complaint against United National Insurance Company. It is unknown whether the insurance carrier funded all or part of the settlement.

ORDER DIRECTING DFT TO PROCURE COURT RECORDS: I have been advised that an authorization from plntff has proved insufficient to enable opposing counsel to procure the records of Mr. Maneely's case in the Town of Newburgh Justice Court. This is a repeated problem. I do not understand why, if an acquitted dft in a criminal case asks that records be unsealed, they are not unsealed. After all, they are sealed for his benefit, and if he chooses to make them public, it is his business. However, I do not have the case number, or even the date, of People v. Maneely. If I do not have them, perhaps the Town Justice does not know what they are, either. He can't very well find them if they are not properly identified. And in any event, the proper procedure is to file a special proceeding in the relevant court, seeking to have the records unsealed, with Mr. Maneely supporting the request, and attaching an order of this COurt directing that the parties obtain the records for use in this proceeding. Accordingly, this COurt finds that the record of proceedings that relate to the strip search that is the subject of this Complaint are necessary for the prosecution and defense of this action. I direct the parties, plntff and dfts, to make a joint application for unsealing, for the limited purpose of this action only, to the Town of Newburgh Justice Court. This Order may be attached as an exhibit to that appliaction. If for some reason the Town Justice refuses to grant the motion, let me know, and I will contact Chief Administrative Judge Lippmann of the Office of Court Administration, who has helped me sort out similar difficulties in the past. So Ordered: . ( signed by Judge Colleen McMahon ); Copies mailed. (pf) (Entered: 02/05/2002)

MEMORANDUM AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR PARTIAL CLASS CERTIFICATION; granting [12-1] motion pursuant to FRCP 23(a) and (b)(3), as class defined. CONCLUSION: For the foregoing reasons, plaintiff's Motion for partial class certification is granted. Plaintiff has already moved for Summary Judgment on the underlying issue of the existence of an unconstitutional strip search policy in Newburgh. The stay of consideratin of that Motion is now lifted. Deft's have 20 days from today's date ot serve a response to plaintiff's Motion. This date will not be extended. Plaintiff then will have 10 days to serve a reply - again, with no extension. The Court will issue its decision 30 days thereafter. Should the class plaintiff prevail, there remains the question of what, if any, class-wide relief will be apporpriate in addition ot the entry of declaratory Judgment. Two issues occur to the Court: Should notice of the Court's decision be sent to the class members, and should the statute of limitations (which has been tolled for putative class members since the filing of the complaint, see Crown, Cork & Seal CO., Inc. vs. Parker, 462 US 345, 353-54 (1983)) be further tolld to give individuals who may be affected by the decision, and by the Court's refusal to certify class originally requested, an opportunity to obtain counsel to pursue their individual claims. I aslk that class counsel weigh in on theses issues within 10 days. Deft's counsel should response to plaintiff's submission in their responsive papers on the Motion. This constitutes the decision and Order of the Court. SO ORDERED: (signed by Judge Colleen ); Copies mailed. (dc) (Entered: 05/22/2002)
