right our third case for this morning is hubert against anders morning runners may please the court mr huber suffered eleven years of on lawful supervision and imprisonment at the hands of the state and that's in dispute and the real issue in this case is whether mr huber will get to present his case t judge vacated his sentence in two thousand and fourteen which makes all of his claims in this lawsuit time second summary judgment was inappropriate in this fact intensive case because there were disputed material facts issue because  jury should get to decide the credibility of the various witnesses and because all the facts and reasonable inferences should have been resolved in favor of the nonmoving party huber but they were not now as you know most of the claims in this lawsuit were ruled time barred that holding is erroneous because equity humphrey says that no claim for damages can be brought which questions the fact or duration of custody until that sentence or after the time your sentence has expired is one of the ways the eighth amendment can be violated yes and so the purpose of act is to prevent collateral attacks on a criminal sentence and so if mr cooper had brought his claim say in two thousand and two thousand and nine as the district court suggests he would have been barred by heck because it would have directly attacked the validity of his sentence he was currently serving time in prison at the time so and walter were his parole agents they were like the most recent parole agents and they were ruled to be not time barred wisconsin has a six year statute of limitations and the events with them happened between twenty eleven and twenty thirteen so those were ruled timely and the judge reached the merits on those the two counts against bach and walter every other claim was real time barred ok or otherwise it got dismissed because they relied on the timer claims the failure to intervene in the in the voting rights claims were dismissed because they relied on the other claims not being time heard right i wonder if you could speak a little more specifically about some of the defendants because each person plays a slightly different role and we have in addition to heck we have simply the question whether it was correct to grant summary judgment or generally so measure i pronounce his name so the defendants correctly point out that responding at superior does not apply here and that's not what we're trying to rely on our argument is that if you look at the order which cast was that signed which reinstated  do anything i didn't do any due diligence he just rubber stamped it but which just he do i mean i guess he probably did rubber stamp i don't think right but i want i'm having trouble converting that into a deliberate indifference notion it sounds like he just these papers come in front of him and he signed stuff well if he had looked if you'd actually looked at the paper which you know that the standard for deliberate indifference is ignoring a known risk or action that's so you know that's so ineffectual circumstances tantamount to deliberate indifference and so argument is that you know his actions either ignored it or it was just you know so ineffectual if you look at the face of the order it says his now in the face of the orders important too because that's what he looked at he didn't look at anything else it said that his probation should have ended on november third one nine hundred ninety two and he's being asked in march of one thousand nine hundred six to sign an extension of probation that should raise a red flag in the first place in the second place there was a warrant out for his arrest on may nineteenth one thousand nine hundred three again we're in march one thousand nine hundred six it's unlikely that a suspect would be able to evade the police and his probation officer that wants it it's at least it's at least and maybe something you don't see every day some people are tell there is a retaliation claim against him there's an access to court claim and an eighth amendment claim that ball sack also seems to be a bit peripheral to all of this so was aqua's huber's probation officer after his probation was illegally extended and but but but how does he know i mean somebody sort of shows up in his office and there's an order you i mean clearly i would say at this point irania slee issue but has just he's not really adamant however we believe he found out at a later date and then actually pulled exculpatory documents from huber's case file to prevent him from making his case and getting this all resolved much earlier so what's your evidence  he did that well the case file didn't have the form deal c forty four among other things in it that it that told his time so the basis for extending your persuasion was the told time form the deal see forty four that was not in your was case file that was presented during his revocation hearing and during his post conviction motion challenging that revocation later about eight or nine years later in his federal havey as lawsuit it magically appears in your case file although it had never been there since so the question is how could how could a form that was out in the file at that time materialize after some theatre ten years after  many payoffs necessarily well yes i mean he sang walls act kept saying i needed to pay him supervision fees and pay him restitution even though the guy that he stole the money from in one nine hundred eighty eight had been dead since hundred nine and no one from his estate ever made a claim for restitution so the restitution famous even making his whole time since his conviction it's not clear where those were going and the supervision fees you know in addition to being ill egitimate because if you were was really on probation anyway they were not a reason to keep him on probation while zick even admits that in his discovery responses he says that is not a that's not a good enough reason to keep someone  probation and he tries to fall back and say that here was absconding but it's his answer change his answer as to why he were both tuber changes depending on what you know what someone says in response then on the on the two counts that were ruled on on the merits those were that was the eighth amendment deliberate indifference claim against bach and walter and then the access to the courts claim against bach and walter summary judgment there was an appropriate a reasonable jury could have found in favor of hubert given the fact record and the judge improperly there made credibility determinations that really were the job of the jury you know there's a speedy material facts there you know most obviously the subjective mind states of the defendants but that that will always be the case in section one hundred three case but you know bach claims that the d o c forty four with the told time form she says that wasn't in the file but her counterpart hanson looked in the file and found it so you know that that's an important fact because i want to box defenses as well sure i kind of brushed you off however the form wasn't in the file so i would've found what you asked me to look for anyway that's that's so that's a disputed fact it's not clear how hanson could find it but not by walters you know walters action she supervisor you know she she claims she called the c r u the central records unit and you know verified with them but you know first of all there's no record that she actually made a phone call but more importantly we don't know what she said on this phone call if she merely said you know what was hubert convicted and does he have a ten year sentence and an eighty one month sentence should he be on parole that's a different phone conversation from hi c r u poll i want you to pull the agent's chronological logs and i want you to pull the d o c forty four in the related forms and see the inconsistency is here and and analyze whether you think he really should be on probation or or in prison around for all of this time right so i gather at some point he's managed to assemble the relevant documents himself and they refused so they don't really even have to do the legwork they refused to look at them yes i'm pretty late in the day when remind me when that is so huber gets the documents in his federal a b s case i believe i believe it was twenty ten ok and and then you start you know he's coming up on being released on parole so he he has his first meeting with bach and walter by telephone while he's still in prison and there's a social worker with him you know that's when they say this isn't our job right that's the first time i mean they said it multiple times but they need the social worker even offered to fax the documents and said here take a look what you think and walt was either by the walter said now don't  don't want to look at it that's not my job my jap's a keep you on parole keep you under supervision i don't know as even though it's a mistake he's there sitting there saying i don't belong in this status right now and you know they probably hear that from other prisoners who don't have a legitimate claim so you don't need that but he's he's offering document he's offering god there's no there's no question all about the genuineness of these documents or is there no this i mean the this  mr huber brought a such an action eighty three complaint against her and five other defendants alleging various violations for committing or perpetuating this error and the district court as we know dismissed many of those complaints on the statute of limitations grounds and the remaining on the you're relying on hack because i have a real problem with tech this is one of the prices of the heckling basically that if you need to wait until the sentence is been vacated you can wind up with some right so this is this is the way the analysis goes you need to first to set figure out your amendment violation and here we all agree it's an eighth amendment violation right and then you need to figure out when your eighth amendment violation accrued because from the accrual date seems to be what happened here you had administrator proceedings that affected the length of custody so whether or not iraq is limited as you intend it should be everyone's against dallas clark is not pow is your position consistent with that word so to answer that question i need to make sure that we're clear about when it's our position the claim accrued which was january of one nine hundred ninety six and at that time all we had was the legitimacy of the incarceration under the state's norm of seizures has now been found to be wanting and so this is not like you know a fourth amendment claim an unlawful arrest claim a miranda claim respectfully your honor it's the state's position that the claim accrued when he had a complete and present cause of action against not three if he doesn't because part of the cause of action is somebody put a gold star on his record saying you were wrongfully detained and the state of wisconsin certainly did not take that position in one thousand nine hundred six he had a complete and present cause of action the day that ms anderson stamped that paperwork incorrectly and he was in edwards was wrongly decided because from that reasoning the defendant the prisoner had a completely present cause of action the day the president committee wrongly extended his incarceration but the supreme court held otherwise that's why i'm asking you to discuss that were so rather than just assert the opposite of that word that's ok i think that edward i don't necessarily think that edwards was wrongly decided i think it was an extension of what heck was worried about is competing judge was that it was an extension by the supreme court correct are probably correct but i but i want to go back to say that that's now what we don't even have what they had in edwards here we had  what's the first moment in which the machinery of justice vindicated mr hooper's position the well to answer that question it will say why not nine hundred ninety six i think that's correct but but again wallace says you need to look at when your claim accrued his claim accrued against them in one thousand nine hundred six and there were no it doesn't say that it says it it is further elaboration on various of wrong that people may have been it says that a fourth amendment claim can accrue indeed doesn't prove at the time of the arrest because you can be wrongfully arrested and still guilty as all get out of it the link isn't there so you need to promptly raise your claim the court says and wallows get it adjudicated it's not inconsistent with the validity of the conviction it's not inconsistent with the sentence of incarceration but an eighth amendment claim if it challenges anything it challenges the duration of confinement it's i mean you can't just take innocent people and put them in prison for a few years because you feel like i don't like the m i think that we have a disagreement about versus damages no we do not be i am relying on the language and heck and edwards about the a cruel of a claim that fundamentally contradicts the validity of the criminal prosecution we have strong interests in finality for criminal prosecution we limit people's ability to make collateral attacks on them and so those system the supreme court set up is there a lot of claims if they if if you were successful and it undermined of a foundation of the criminal conviction you can't bring them under nine hundred eighty three until the convictions been set aside that's how the court you know there's a lot of law that sort of sorts out the realm of hey b s from the realm of one thousand nine hundred three so it doesn't even accrue until you've been vindicated that's what the court sa can't bring the claim until you wiped out problematic conviction right ok well the again i what the state was relying on was that justice scalia's definition of a cruel at the common law as it appears and wallace which is when you have an injury and damages and that's day one and for this frankly just read this well you didn't say a word in wallace against cato to the effect that he was now inclined to rule heck or edwards believe me i mean you know we've all studied these things many times and that's not what he said court wouldn't have done it sir to show sleep well let me just also point this out heck was a malicious prosecution claim and that that's a different claim than what we have here i don't i don't i don't know if we can extend that to this eighth amendment violation where as he pled and in summary judgment his injury was when they unlawfully put him on probation and that i don't how could he prove that injury without collaterally attacking the administrative decision to continue his probation so he would have to show that that administrative decision w mistake i think and that's what you can't do until the proper authorities have said this side right and i and that kind of gets back to this the ballasts a case and how far out we're going to go from what heck was worried about which was about edwards right and i and i i think that what we have here and the record is clear about this was we had a d o c employee erroneously filling out a form and that is not the same as what we had in the well we have and more than that i mean we have evidence in the record that a person was well aware that november third was the date and then just deliberately suppressed that fact none of these things may wind up being true but to  go forward with a case there are i'm not sure everybody he sued but there are a number of the people that he sued who were personally responsible and who allegedly deliberately the serious mistake had unfortunate consequences and we can't deny that but i will say that on the face of this record it's we don't we don't agree that there is enough for a reasonable jury to infer the criminal recklessness listen you would need to find deliberate indifference on the part of any of the defendants and i mean the court talked a little bit about casper zack and hartman who had very limited kind of connection with him at all anderson at the most what the records show is telling on a deliberate indifference theory and hartman is anderson's supervisor as i said you may be getting too far out by the time you get to casper zack that i mean you know these people sometimes lump everybody together and it's important to keep them all separate because of the way the liability rules work anderson you know by some some of these people are very directly involved ok  i'm happy to talk about any of them i'll just briefly say for backing walter the record is clear that once they learned of his allegation that his probation was unlawful they were back once you all turned and discussed it and walter went to the circus central records unit i don't think that there's enough there to show deliberate indifference but they refused the problem is that the records in the central records unit were tainted they refused to even take a look at the additional records he had assembled this is why i asked whether there was any allegation even that there was something wrong with these records i could imagine that might have been been parity there isn't any allegation that there's something wrong with them so you need to have both sets of records in front of you before the problem will be you can't just look at the tainted set of records ok ok well so even if the records at the central records unit were somehow wrong that doesn't make walter deliberately and differently in different by saying i'm not even you know i'm going to put a blindfold on i'm not even going to look at that gets to figs and we we don't agree that she would be put in that same category because she  did not have the independent authority to question the central records you know as to what they told her so we don't think that she's in that same posture as the defendant was in the fix case with ms anderson i just want to go back and say that the record does show probably some errors on her part that were very serious errors but again that's not criminal records to us or deliberate indifference and we think on the facts the court could affirm the district court for the access to courts claim but there's no evidence that he intentionally withheld file documents and said i'm not going to allow mr huber to go forward with this case there's just no evidence of that  same thing with that retail retaliatory motive and i would say that to the extent that mr huber is making a program detention claim against him it fails for the same reasons that the state believes that fails for the first three defendant s that is all i wanted to cover i can sit down if nobody else has questions thank you i see none so thank you very much anything further mr wick just really quickly the point about hartmann and cast was that the supervisors were too far removed the fact that they have to sign these forms has to mean something if every signature is just rubber stamp and there's no such thing as the section eight hundred eighty three case based on any of these violations well maybe not against them i mean usually you'll find the case being against the person with the most immediate dorothy true but i think again i would just point to the fact that these these forms were suspicious on their face and they you know if in fact they were not involved in anderson's wrongdoing if they were innocent didn't know about it they don't get to bury their heads in the sand either that's that's deliberate indifference if you look at face it says you did nothing or you took action sort of factual known risk and here the risk is that someone gets two and a half years more of their life taken away that's how long the probation was extended so if it was extending it by ten days maybe you rubber stamp it but when you talk about two naf years i think there's this too grave of imposition to just you know next so you know that's that's one point in the point with bach that she couldn't do anything i mean that's she had to she had to file she could look at it there was nothing preventing her from it that are going to tantamount to her saying you know she wants to say my supervisor told me not to look at it so i couldn't do it but that's that's saying my supervisor told me to violate huber's rights and so i did it so i'm not liable i mean that's that's not a very convincing argument so unless there's any further questions mr you're deserves his day in court and i think a jury should get to decide who is credible in this case so we would ask that you all these claims are timely under heck and remand the case back to trial and also overturn the merits rulings in favor of buchalter all right thank you very much and you took this case five point nine i believe from the court  appreciate your efforts very much in this your firm thank you thank you very much
