CONNIE GIPSON, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDING DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS (ECF No. 25) FOURTEEN-DAY DEADLINE 17 18 Plaintiff Rene Fuentes Rios (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 19 20 21 pauperis pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. I. Procedural Background 22 Plaintiff initiated this action on April 14, 2014. (ECF No. 1.) On February 16, 2016, the 23 Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint and found that it stated a cognizable claim against 24 Defendants Gipson, Mayo, Ortega, Garcia and Piña for due process violations regarding his gang 25 validation, but failed to state any other claims for relief. Plaintiff was granted leave to cure the 26 identified deficiencies, and was directed to either file a first amended complaint or notify the 27 Court that he was agreeable to proceeding only on the due process gang validation claim. (ECF 28 No. 9.) 1 1 On May 20, 2016, Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. (ECF No. 14.) 2 On October 18, 2016, the Court screened Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, and found 3 that it stated a cognizable claim against Defendants Gipson, Mayo, Ortega, Garcia and Pin᷈a for 4 due process violations regarding his gang validation, and against Defendants Johnson, Cuevas 5 and Hiracheta for retaliating against Plaintiff for engaging in a hunger strike. (ECF No. 17.) 6 Certain other claims were dismissed without leave to amend, but Plaintiff was granted leave to 7 file a second amended complaint to attempt to cure deficiencies related to his claim that he was 8 subjected to harsh conditions of confinement in retaliation for protected activity. (Id. at p. 10.) 9 Plaintiff was directed to either file a second amended complaint or notify the Court that he was 10 willing to proceed only on the cognizable claims identified by the Court. (Id. at p. 11.) Plaintiff’s second amended complaint, filed on February 3, 2017, is currently before the 11 12 Court for screening. (ECF No. 25.) 13 I. Screening Requirement 14 The Court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a 15 governmental entity and/or against an officer or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 16 1915A(a). Plaintiff’s complaint, or any portion thereof, is subject to dismissal if it is frivolous or 17 malicious, if it fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or if it seeks monetary 18 relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), (2); 28 U.S.C. 19 § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). 20 A complaint must contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the 21 pleader is entitled to relief. . . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). Detailed factual allegations are not 22 required, but “[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere 23 conclusory statements, do not suffice.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949 24 (2009) (citing Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964-65 25 (2007)). While a plaintiff’s allegations are taken as true, courts “are not required to indulge 26 unwarranted inferences.” Doe I v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 572 F.3d 677, 681 (9th Cir. 2009) 27 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). 28 Prisoners proceeding pro se in civil rights actions are entitled to have their pleadings 2 1 liberally construed and to have any doubt resolved in their favor. Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 2 342 (9th Cir. 2010) (citations omitted). To survive screening, Plaintiff’s claims must be facially 3 plausible, which requires sufficient factual detail to allow the Court to reasonably infer that each 4 named defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged, Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678, 129 S. Ct. at 1949 5 (quotation marks omitted); Moss v. United States Secret Service, 572 F.3d 962, 969 (9th Cir. 6 2009). The sheer possibility that a defendant acted unlawfully is not sufficient, and mere 7 consistency with liability falls short of satisfying the plausibility standard. Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678, 8 129 S. Ct. at 1949 (quotation marks omitted); Moss, 572 F.3d at 969. 9 II. Allegations 10 Plaintiff is an inmate in the custody of the California Department of Corrections and 11 Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) at California State Prison, Corcoran (“Corcoran”), where the events in 12 the complaint are alleged to have occurred. Plaintiff names the following defendants: (1) 13 Warden Connie Gipson; (2) Lieutenant S. Pin᷈a; (3) Correctional Officer J. C. Garcia; (4) 14 Correctional Officer J. Ortega; (5) Correctional Officer A. Mayo; (6) Captain T. Campbell; (7) 15 Lieutenant J. V. Johnson; (8) Sergeant M. Cuevas; (9) Correctional Officer J. Hiracheta; (10) 16 Correctional Counselor D. Goree; and (11) Appeals Coordinator A. Pasillas. 17 Allegations Regarding Plaintiff’s Gang Validation 18 On July 26, 2006, Plaintiff was originally validated by prison officials as a Mexican Mafia 19 (EME) prison gang associate. He was placed in solitary confinement–Security Housing Unit 20 (SHU) to serve six years before he could qualify for inactive review and release from the SHU. 21 On February 15, 2007, Plaintiff was housed in the Corcoran SHU in a building where only prison 22 gang validated inmates were housed. 23 On August 23, 2010, Defendant A. Mayo allegedly fabricated a confidential 24 memorandum, asserting that while working in the SHU, he intercepted a manila envelope that 25 Inmate Berry passed from his cell to Inmate Dominguez. Plaintiff alleges that this memorandum 26 was placed in his prison file in retaliation for his signing of a group CDCR 602 grievance 27 submitted by Inmate Roy Dominguez challenging SHU conditions. 28 reportedly confiscated the CDCR 602 grievance and filed confidential memoranda against all 3 Defendant A. Mayo 1 inmates that signed the grievance in order to stop the filing of grievances and to revalidate 2 inmates as gang associates for retention in the SHU. 3 On May 17, 2012, Plaintiff attended a Classification Committee (ICC) for a 180-day 4 review regarding his original validation. Plaintiff informed Defendant Gipson about his inactive 5 review date of June 1, 2012, so that he could be recommended for inactive review. Defendant 6 Gipson ignored Plaintiff and alleged that he was endorsed for transfer to Pelican Bay State Prison 7 for filing too many 602 grievances and protesting SHU conditions. Plaintiff asserts that 8 Defendant Gipson retaliated against him for protesting the SHU conditions and for filing 602 9 grievances. Plaintiff further alleges that Defendant Gipson violated his due process rights by 10 retaining him beyond the eligible date for inactive review. 11 On October 2, 2012, Defendant J. Ortega disclosed to Plaintiff the confidential 12 memorandum entry that Defendant Mayo filed, but refused to describe the reliability of the entry 13 and failed to provide a copy of the CDCR 602 group appeal, the alleged note found outside the 14 manila envelope or the manila envelope. 15 Confidential Information Disclosure Form and indicated that in less than 24 hours Defendant S. 16 Pin᷈a would interview Plaintiff. Defendant J. Ortega disclosed the CDCR-1030 17 Defendant Pin᷈a was assigned by the Warden to be the Institutional Gang Investigator 18 (IGI) in charge of interviewing inmates. Defendant Pin᷈a did not interview Plaintiff before 19 submitting 20 Safety (OCS). Plaintiff alleges that Defendant Pin᷈a knew that the information offered for re- 21 validation violated Plaintiff’s due process rights under CDCR regulations. 22 alleges that Defendants Gipson and Pin᷈a violated his rights by not issuing a new CDCR-114-D 23 describing their reasons for retaining Plaintiff beyond June 1, 2012 and for not conducting a 24 hearing within 24 hours as required by regulations before retaining him in the SHU and 25 recommending him for prison gang validation. the gang validation package to the Office of Correctional Plaintiff further 26 On October 4, 2012, Defendant J. Ortega approached Plaintiff’s cell and indicated that 27 Defendant Pin᷈a could not conduct the 24-hour hearing because he did not have time for Plaintiff. 28 Defendant Ortega told Plaintiff to write a response and he would give it to Defendant Pin᷈a. 4 1 Plaintiff explained to Defendant Ortega that due to the conflict of interest regarding the retaliatory 2 entry, Plaintiff needed to talk to Defendant Pin᷈a to explain why he could not have a copy of the 3 alleged group appeal and the note, which indicated “to all in good standing.” (Doc. No. 25 at p. 4 14.) Plaintiff indicated that he did not want to be interviewed by Defendant Ortega. Defendant 5 Ortega said that Plaintiff had no choice other than to give a response to him regarding the CDCR- 6 1030 or he would not submit anything. Plaintiff asked Defendant Ortega to record the rebuttal in 7 the CDCR-128-B to ensure that it would be considered. Defendant Ortega indicated that OCS 8 never replied or considered inmates’ rebuttals. Plaintiff then explained that it was very important 9 that he talk to Defendant Pin᷈a and that he have a copy of the alleged evidence to prepare a good 10 11 defense. On November 15, 2012, Defendant J.C. Garcia was assigned to interview Plaintiff 12 regarding a 602 grievance, Log # COR-12-06953. 13 consider and attach Plaintiff’s evidence because Plaintiff had filed 602 grievances against other 14 officers. Plaintiff presented the evidence to Defendant Garcia and clearly explained that on 15 October 11, 2012, CDCR changed the policy and procedures regarding the information used to 16 revalidate inmates as a prison gang. Defendant Garcia alleged that several other inmates already 17 got validated based on the same information and that they would make sure to revalidate Plaintiff 18 until he was willing to debrief. Plaintiff explained that all inmates who signed the grievance were 19 gang validated as they were housed in the same building where only gang validated inmates were 20 housed. Defendant Garcia allegedly refused to 21 On May 14, 2013, Defendant Pin᷈a resubmitted the gang validation package to the OCS for 22 approval. Defendant Ortega disclosed unreliable CDCR-1030 form dated June 3, 2013, alleging 23 that staff received an anonymous note indicating that Plaintiff may be targeted for assault by the 24 EME prison gang. For this reason, Plaintiff was housed in isolation single cell, which was 25 defective and without water for approximately two weeks. Plaintiff could only drink water when 26 he went to yard, during showers, or when staff passed in a plastic bag because the building 27 maintenance required a work order from the officers before the sink could be fixed. 28 On November 15, 2013, the Departmental Review Board (“DRB”) assigned Plaintiff’s 5 1 case pursuant to the new pilot program for STG case-by-case review and found that the 2 information used for gang validation was insufficient to retain him in the SHU. Plaintiff was 3 recommended to be released to the mainline general population. 4 Allegations Regarding Inhumane SHU Conditions 5 From 2007 through 2013, Plaintiff filed approximately 35 CDCR grievances regarding 6 SHU conditions and the unreliable appeals system. Plaintiff alleges that staff refused to provide 7 sufficient ventilation, recreational yard, showers, law library, laundry, sufficient food, incomplete 8 meals, food was overcooked, cold, and sometimes served in dirty trays. Nearly every day 9 Plaintiff was served imitation sausage crumbles and chicken-flavored strips, which were 80% soy 10 and made Plaintiff sick. At that point, Plaintiff refused to eat the food in 2011, 2012, and 2013 11 for several days to protest the inhumane conditions. Plaintiff contends that most of the 602 12 grievances were not logged, processed or answered by prison officials. 13 Inmates in the SHU were forced to endure bright light 24-hours a day because staff had 14 the control to turn on and off the cell lights. Plaintiff alleges that while housed at the SHU, he 15 filed several grievances against staff and SHU conditions with negative results. 16 therefore had no choice but to participate in a hunger protest in a peaceful manner for his own 17 reasons. Plaintiff 18 On December 1, 2008, Plaintiff filed a 602 appeal against SHU administrators for refusing 19 to allow him to have control of the cell light. Plaintiff alleges that staff left the bright light on 24- 20 hours to punish inmates. Plaintiff also complained that staff constantly refused to pass complete 21 supplies, to provide hair/nail clippers, and clothing linen. Additionally, Plaintiff filed several 22 other 602 grievances against administrators for constantly refusing to provide sufficient 23 ventilation. 24 On August 31, 2011, Plaintiff filed a 602 grievance for administrators punishing Plaintiff 25 with repetitive counseling chronos to affect his inactive gang validation status and possible 26 release from the SHU merely because Plaintiff peacefully participated in a hunger protest against 27 the SHU conditions. Plaintiff alleges that his 602 grievances were obstructed by prison officials. 28 On November 1, 2012, Plaintiff was attending the Institutional Classification Committee 6 1 (ICC) and “had discovered the constantly 180 day meaningless ICC, staff reviews and the 2 retaliatory confidential information entries . . . to enforce [sic] plaintiff to debrief.” (ECF No. 25 3 at 18.) 4 On November 26, 2012, Plaintiff filed a 602 grievance against ICC for refusing to 5 disclose all confidential entries placed in his prison file because Plaintiff was supposed to be 6 recommended for inactive review since June 1, 2012. 7 On January 7, 2013, Defendant Pasillas interviewed Plaintiff in regard to the 602 appeal. 8 Defendant Pasillas alleged that the reason they conducted meaningless ICC reviews was to verify 9 if Plaintiff was willing to debrief and that Plaintiff’s due process right to a fair hearing or 10 investigative employee at each 180-day was unnecessary. Defendant Pasillas refused to consider 11 Plaintiff’s evidence. 12 On January 7, 2013, Plaintiff requested from Defendant Pasillas a copy of the alleged 602 13 group appeal and information considered to retain him in the SHU. Defendant Pasillas denied his 14 request. 15 Hunger Strike 16 On July 8, 2013, Plaintiff decided to participate in his third protest and refused to eat the 17 SHU meals. On July 10, 2013, Defendants Campbell, Johnson, Cuevas, and Hiracheta issued 18 retaliatory Rule Violation Report (“RVR”) based on conjecture and speculation, and erroneously 19 alleged that Plaintiff participated in a mass hunger strike. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants never 20 interviewed him or asked why he refused meals, nor did they search his cell to determine if he 21 was on a hunger strike or eating his own personal food. Plaintiff was not provided with an 22 investigative employee to assist him with collecting evidence to prepare a defense. On July 22, 23 2013, Lt. Brodie conducted the hearing on the RVR. Plaintiff alleges that Lt. Brodie denied his 24 request to present evidence in his defense. 25 On August 29, 2013, Defendant Goree was assigned to interview Plaintiff in regard to his 26 grievance. 27 participation in a mass hunger strike. 28 Defendant Goree refused to record Plaintiff’s additional evidence due to his Plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages, along with declaratory and injunctive 7 1 relief. 2 III. Discussion 3 A. Official Capacity 4 Plaintiff names several defendants in their individual and official capacities. 5 Eleventh Amendment bars suits for money damages in federal court against a state, its agencies, 6 and state officials in their official capacities.” Aholelei v. Dep’t. of Pub. Safety, 488 F.3d 1144, 7 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (citations omitted). Suits for injunctive relief are also generally barred. See 8 Nat’l Audubon Soc’y v. Davis, 307 F.3d 835, 847 (9th Cir. 2002). However, the Eleventh 9 Amendment does not bar suits seeking damages against state officials in their personal capacities, 10 Hafer v. Melo, 502 U.S. 21, 30, 112 S.Ct. 358, 116 L.Ed.2d 301 (1991); Porter v. Jones, 319 F.3d 11 483, 491 (9th Cir. 2003), or suits for injunctive relief brought against state officials in their 12 official capacities, Austin v. State Indus. Ins. Sys., 939 F.2d 676, 680 n.2 (9th Cir. 1991). “The 13 Thus, Plaintiff may only proceed against any defendant for money damages in their 14 individual capacity, but may proceed against defendants for injunctive relief in their official 15 capacities. 16 B. Gang Validation 17 As indicated, Plaintiff’s original complaint stated a claim for relief against Defendants 18 Gipson, Mayo, Pina, Ortega, and Garcia for improper gang validation based on falsified 19 information. The Court noted that Plaintiff sufficiently alleged that these defendants had 20 predetermined that Plaintiff would be re-validated based upon a refusal to de-brief. Plaintiff re- 21 states these allegations in the second amended complaint, including the fabrication of confidential 22 entries in his prison file and that Plaintiff would be re-validated until he was willing to debrief. 23 For the reasons noted in the February 16, 2016, order, the first amended complaint states a claim 24 against these Defendants for improper gang validation. 25 C. Retaliation 26 A plaintiff may state a claim for a violation of his First Amendment rights due to 27 retaliation under section 1983. Pratt v. Rowland, 65 F.3d 802, 806 (9th Cir. 1995). A viable claim 28 of retaliation in violation of the First Amendment consists of five elements: “(1) an assertion that 8 1 a state actor took some adverse action against an inmate (2) because of (3) that prisoner’s 2 protected conduct, and that such action (4) chilled the inmate’s exercise of his First Amendment 3 rights, and (5) the action did not reasonably advance a legitimate correctional goal.” Rhodes v. 4 Robinson, 408 F.3d 559, 567 (9th Cir. 2005); accord Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1114 (9th 5 Cir. 2012); Brodheim v. Cry, 584 F.3d 1262, 1269 (9th Cir. 2009). 6 1. Hunger Strike 7 Liberally construed, the second amended complaint alleges that Plaintiff was participating in a 8 hunger strike to protest his gang validation and harsh SHU conditions, and that he was charged 9 with a serious rules violation in retaliation for participating in the hunger strike. Plaintiff therefore 10 states a claim for relief against Defendants Johnson, Cuevas, and Hiracheta for retaliating against 11 Plaintiff for participation in a hunger strike in violation of the First Amendment. 12 2. Revalidation 13 Plaintiff alleges, in part, that he was re-validated as a gang member and retained in the 14 SHU in retaliation for signing a grievance challenging the inhumane SHU conditions. At the 15 pleading stage, Plaintiff states a retaliation claim against Defendants Gipson, Mayo, Pina, Ortega, 16 and Garcia. 17 18 D. Grievance Procedure Plaintiff complains about the processing and review of his grievances, including review by 19 Defendant Goree. 20 protected liberty interest upon which Plaintiff may base a claim that he was denied a particular 21 result or that the appeals process was deficient. Ramirez v. Galaza, 334 F.3d 850, 860 (9th Cir. 22 2003); Mann v. Adams, 855 F.2d 639, 640 (9th Cir. 1988). However, the existence of an inmate appeals process does not create a 23 E. Conditions of Confinement 24 “The Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment protects 25 prisoners not only from inhumane methods of punishment but also from inhumane conditions of 26 confinement.” Morgan v. Morgensen, 465 F.3d 1041, 1045 (9th Cir. 2006). Prison officials 27 therefore have a “duty to ensure that prisoners are provided adequate shelter, food, clothing, 28 sanitation, medical care, and personal safety.” Johnson v. Lewis, 217 F.3d 726, 731 (9th Cir. 9 1 2000) (citations omitted). Extreme deprivations are required to make out a conditions of 2 confinement claim, and only those deprivations denying the minimal civilized measure of life’s 3 necessities are sufficiently grave to form the basis of an Eighth Amendment violation. Hudson v. 4 McMillian, 503 U.S. 1, 9, 112 S.Ct. 995, 117 L.Ed.2d 156 (1992) (citations and quotations 5 omitted). A prisoner claiming an Eighth Amendment violation must show (1) that the deprivation 6 he suffered was “objectively, sufficiently serious;” and (2) that prison officials were deliberately 7 indifferent to his safety in allowing the deprivation to take place. Morgan, 465 F.3d at 1045, 8 quoting Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834 (1994). 9 Plaintiff alleges that staff refused to provide sufficient ventilation, recreational yard, 10 showers, law library, laundry, sufficient food, incomplete meals, food was overcooked, cold, and 11 sometimes served in dirty trays. Plaintiff’s general and conclusory allegations, without more, are 12 insufficient to state a cognizable Eighth Amendment claim. Plaintiff fails to allege sufficient 13 facts to demonstrate that the conditions he is complaining of are grave enough to form the basis of 14 an Eighth Amendment claim. Plaintiff does not include facts regarding the circumstance, nature 15 or duration of any claimed violation. More importantly, Plaintiff does not link any of the named 16 defendants to his conditions of confinement claim, including that he was subjected to bright lights 17 in 2008. 18 F. Declaratory Relief 19 In addition to monetary damages, Plaintiff seeks a declaration that his rights were 20 violated. “A declaratory judgment, like other forms of equitable relief, should be granted only as 21 a matter of judicial discretion, exercised in the public interest.” Eccles v. Peoples Bank of 22 Lakewood Village, 333 U.S. 426, 431 (1948). “Declaratory relief should be denied when it will 23 neither serve a useful purpose in clarifying and settling the legal relations in issue nor terminate 24 the proceedings and afford relief from the uncertainty and controversy faced by the parties.” 25 United States v. Washington, 759 F.2d 1353, 1357 (9th Cir. 1985). 26 In the event that this action reaches trial and the jury returns a verdict in favor of Plaintiff, 27 that verdict will be a finding that Plaintiff’s constitutional rights were violated. Accordingly, a 28 declaration that any defendant violated Plaintiff’s rights is unnecessary. 10 1 IV. Conclusion and Recommendation 2 Plaintiff has stated cognizable claims against (1) Defendants Gipson, Mayo, Pina, Ortega, 3 and Garcia for improper gang validation in violation of the Due Process Clause and retaliation in 4 violation of the First Amendment; and (2) Defendants Johnson, Cuevas, and Hiracheta for 5 retaliating against Plaintiff for participation in a hunger strike in violation of the First Amendment 6 However, Plaintiff has failed to state any other cognizable claims in this action. Despite being 7 provided with the relevant pleading and legal standards, Plaintiff has been unable to cure the 8 deficiencies identified by the Court. Thus, further leave to amend is not warranted. Lopez v. 9 Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1130 (9th Cir. 2000). 10 11 12 13 14 Accordingly, the Court HEREBY DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to randomly assign a District Judge to this action. Furthermore, for the reasons explained above, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED as follows: 1. This action proceed on Plaintiff’s claims against Defendants Gipson, Mayo, Pina, 15 Ortega, and Garcia for improper gang validation in violation of the Due Process 16 Clause and retaliation in violation of the First Amendment; and (2) Defendants 17 Johnson, Cuevas, and Hiracheta for retaliating against Plaintiff for participation in a 18 hunger strike in violation of the First Amendment; and 19 20 2. All other claims and defendants be dismissed for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief, including Plaintiff’s request for declaratory relief. 21 22 23 These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District 24 Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen 25 (14) days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, Plaintiff may file written 26 objections with the Court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s 27 Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the 28 11 1 specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 2 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)). 3 4 5 6 IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: /s/ Barbara April 17, 2018 A.
