Re:
Raymond Quinn v. City and County of San Francisco, et al.
U.S. District Court, Northern District of California Case No. 12-0766
Dear Judge James:
I represent the City and County of San Francisco and Lieutenants John Garcia and
Raymond Macauley in the above-entitled action. I write to request that the Court relieve
Lieutenant Garcia from the obligation to attend the settlement conference, currently scheduled
for August 1, 2012. Plaintiff’s counsel, Julien Swanson, does not oppose this request.
This is a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 case in which the plaintiff, Raymond Quinn, alleges that,
while incarcerated in the San Francisco County Jail, he was injured when he fell from the top
bunk, and that after the fall, he received improper medical care. Defendants request that the
Court relieve Lieutenant Garcia from the obligation of attending the settlement conference
because he has been erroneously named as a defendant – he was not working in the jail at the
time of the incident and played no role whatsoever in any aspect of the incident. Nor was he
involved in the incident in a supervisorial or training capacity. It is only a matter of time before
Lieutenant Garcia will be dismissed as a defendant.
