In December 2004, a class action lawsuit was commenced in th~:

United States District the Vermont Department

Court for the District of Corrections' use of

of co

nVsetramnotnt?if1l~M~'ti~r1i-l~eoM~i/ng7

8 39

by 24-hour "security lights" in the cells at the Southern State Correctional

Facility, Northern State Correctional Facility, Marble Valley Ugt~'nal

Correctional Facility, and the Northeast Regional CorrecBtt':l.Qn_al~-Fa:cil. i t

.

The stated cause of action is that the harm from involun tacy·:·~fp.i:f$·, ,. , -

to constant illumination is a violation of the Eighth Amemfme'n1 bf u .. ': :\

the United States Constitution. The lawsuit seeks declaratory and

injunctive relief ordering VT-DOC to desist in using constant illumination

in favor of reasonable alternatives, such as flashlights to check on inmates~

It is alleged in the Complaint that constant illumination is harmful to inmates and causes such ill-health effects as sleep deprivation, restless sleep, frequent awakening during the night, disruption of the body's normal circadian (day/night) rhythm (jet-lag syndrome), fatigue, headaches, memory problems, depression and other physical and psychological effects.

It is further alleged that exposure to constant illumination causes future, long-term health effects as it suppresses the human body's ability to produce melatonin, an essential hormone responsible for inducing sleep, influencing mood disorders, ensuring normal pituitarygonadal (reproductive) development and processes, enhancing immune response, and protecting against cell damage from aging. Suppression of melatonin has also been linked to an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. These allegations are supported by published biomedical research which will be presented as evidence at trial.

The lawsuit is currently pending the Judge's ruling on motions for Class Action Certification and Appointment of Counsel. There are presently 10 inmates (most at NSCF) joined as plaintiff's and proposed class representatives. The Court is awaiting a showing that a substantial number of inmates have been harmed by constant illumination before ruling on these motions. Additional inmates moving to intervene and be added as parties-plaintiff will greatly influence the Court's decision and strengthen the action.

If you.or anyone you know of feel you nave been harmed by, or fear future harm from, being involuntarily exposed to constant illumination by the VT-DOC, please photocopy the enclosed Motion to Intervene form, fill in your name, the date and your signature in the appropriate areas, and mail the form to:
Richard Wasko, Clerk of Court United States District Court of Vermont P.O. Box 945 Burli~gton, VT 05402-0945

If any information in the Motion to Intervene

does not apply

to you,or if you disagree with any part or want to add/change any

allegations of harm to suit your personal situation, you may re-write

the motion (handwriting is okay). DO NOT submit information to the

Court that is false or does not personally apply to you.

(ok~.y your

Motions should be mailed to the Court by September 19th, 2005

if. a mot1on

few has

days been

late). The granted.

File No. 1:04-CV-335

ORDER (Papers 7, 40, 43, 55, 57-61, 63-82, 84-86, 88-89)

Plaintiff David McGee, proceeding pro se, brings

this case claiming that the 24-hour lighting in Vermont

prisons is unconstitutional. The Court has allowed

several Vermont inmates to intervene in the case as

plaintiffs, and 30 additional motions to intervene are

currently before the Court. Also pending are motions for

appointment of counsel (Papers 7, 40 and 43) and class

certification (Paper 43), as well as the defendants’

request for reconsideration of the Court’s decision

allowing McGee to amend his complaint (Paper 55). For

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 92 Filed 09/26/05 Page 2 of 9
the reasons set forth below, the motions to intervene are GRANTED and the motions for appointment of counsel and class certification are DENIED. The defendants’ motion to reconsider is GRANTED and the Court’s prior ruling on the motion to amend is AFFIRMED. I. Motions to Intervene
The Court has previously allowed eight of McGee’s fellow inmates to intervene in this action. In the last ten days, 30 other inmates have also moved to intervene. Their motions, all of which are identical with the exception of the movant’s name, each show that their claims “and the main action have a question of law or fact in common.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b). Furthermore, the Court finds that addition of these parties will not unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original party. Id. The motions to intervene are, therefore, GRANTED. II. Appointment of Counsel
When considering a motion for appointment of counsel, a Court must assess whether the plaintiff’s claims are likely to be of substance. See Hendricks v. Coughlin, 114 F.3d 390, 392 (2d Cir. 1997); Cooper v. A.
2

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 92 Filed 09/26/05 Page 3 of 9
Sargent Co., 877 F.2d 170, 172 (2d Cir. 1986). If the Court finds sufficient merit in the plaintiff’s claims, it must also consider (1) his ability to investigate the crucial facts; (2) whether conflicting evidence implicating the need for cross-examination will be the major proof presented to the fact finder; (3) the plaintiff’s ability to present the case; (4) the complexity of the legal issues; and (5) any other special reason in the case why appointment of counsel would be more likely to lead to a just determination. Hendricks, 114 F.3d at 392. Courts must consider the issue of appointment carefully because “every assignment of a volunteer lawyer to an undeserving client deprives society of a volunteer lawyer available for a deserving cause.” Cooper v. A. Sargenti Co., 877 F.2d 170, 172 (2d Cir. 1989). Accordingly, “even though a claim may not be characterized as frivolous, counsel should not be appointed in a case where the merits of the ... claim are thin and his chances of prevailing are therefore poor.” Carmona v. United States Bureau of Prisons, 243 F.3d 629, 632 (2d Cir. 2001) (denying counsel on appeal where petitioner’s appeal was not frivolous but nevertheless
3

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 92 Filed 09/26/05 Page 4 of 9
appeared to have little merit). Here, the merits of the plaintiffs’ claims in this
case are not clear. As the defendants noted in a recent filing (Paper 87 at 2-3), there is case law supporting the general proposition that 24-hour lighting may be unconstitutional. In the cited case, the plaintiff claimed that the lighting was so bright that night and day were indistinguishable. Id. (citing Keenan v. Hall, 83 F.3d 1083, 1090-91 (9th Cir. 1996)). Here, McGee alleges that in addition to a main light, each cell contains a 5-7 watt security light. Only the security light remains lit 24 hours a day. While McGee claims that the security lights are “extremely bright” (Paper 6 at 8), the defendants argue that the lights serve legitimate safety interests (Paper 87 at 2). Several courts have considered similar claims, with “mixed results. The reason for such mixed results on ‘constant illumination’ claims . . . is that such cases are fact-driven.” Shepherd v. Ault, 982 F. Supp. 643, 645 (N.D. Iowa 1997).
Even assuming, arguendo, that this case is likely to have merit, the facts of the case should not require
4

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 92 Filed 09/26/05 Page 5 of 9
extensive investigation. The parties appear to agree on the wattage of the lighting and the fact that the security lights are on constantly in certain Vermont facilities. Reviewing the effects of constant lighting on each plaintiff may prove to be a large task, but not a task of particular complexity. The legal issues appear to be similarly straightforward. Indeed, McGee has shown an ability to present the facts and legal issues in a clear and organized fashion, and he will no doubt continue to proceed in this manner. The requests for appointment of counsel (Papers 7, 40 and 43) are, therefore, DENIED. III. Class Certification
As this Court has explained previously, a plaintiff cannot represent a class unless he satisfies the requirements of Rule 23(a)(4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by being able to “fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.” “It is well settled in this circuit” that pro se plaintiffs, being untrained in the law, are unable to meet this requirement, and that “that pro se plaintiffs [therefore] cannot act as class representatives.” McLeod v. Crosson, 1989 WL 28416, at
5

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 92 Filed 09/26/05 Page 6 of 9
*1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 21, 1989); see also Phillips v. Tobin, 548 F.2d 408, 412- 15 (2d Cir. 1976). Graham v. Perez, 121 F. Supp. 2d 317, 321 (S.D.N.Y. 2000). Accordingly, neither McGee nor any of the intervenor-plaintiffs, all of whom are proceeding pro se, may bring an action on behalf of their fellow prisoners.
Furthermore, as the Court has also stated previously, there is no evidence indicating that all of the members of the purported class have suffered injury as a result of constant illumination in Vermont prisons. Without such a showing, the Court is unable to determine whether “the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impractical.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a). The motion for class certification (Paper 43) is, therefore, DENIED. IV. Reconsideration of Motion to Amend
The defendants have moved the Court to reconsider its decision allowing McGee to amend his complaint. (Paper 55). The Court dismissed McGee’s initial claims, in part, because his transfer out of Vermont rendered his claims for injunctive relief moot. McGee subsequently moved to amend his complaint to seek damages, and the
6

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 92 Filed 09/26/05 Page 7 of 9
Court allowed the amendment. (Paper 54). In support of their motion, the defendants argue
that when the Court adopted my Report and Recommendation dismissing McGee’s injunctive relief claims, the Court’s Order included dismissal of McGee’s motion to amend. Because McGee’s motion to amend was filed after the Report and Recommendation, the Report and Recommendation did not include a ruling on that motion. Consequently, adoption of the Report and Recommendation also excluded the motion to amend.
The defendants also argue that the Court’s ruling on McGee’s motion for reconsideration just four days after the filing of that motion must have been mis-docketed given “the short time between this filing and issuing of the Order,” and that the Order must, instead, have been a ruling on McGee’s motion to amend. This argument is without merit. The Court granted McGee’s motion for reconsideration in a text Order, and in that same Order affirmed its prior ruling. (Paper 53). The Court would not “affirm” a motion to amend, or any other motion upon which it had not ruled previously. Consequently, the motion to amend was still pending at the time it was
7

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 92 Filed 09/26/05 Page 8 of 9
granted. (Paper 54). The defendants do not argue that McGee’s motion to
amend should be barred under Rule 15. Because Rule 15 states that leave to amend shall be given freely, and in light of the general practice in this Circuit allowing at least one amended complaint, the Court’s ruling on the motion to amend stands. See Frasier v. General Electric Co., 930 F.2d 1004, 1007 (2d Cir. 1991) (citations omitted) (court should not dismiss without granting leave to amend at least once when the complaint gives “any indication” that a valid claim may be stated). The defendants’ motion to reconsider (Paper 55) is GRANTED, and the Court’s prior ruling (Paper 54) granting the motion to amend (Paper 49) is AFFIRMED.
Conclusion For the reasons set forth above, the motions to intervene (Papers 57-61, 63-82, 84-86, 88 and 89) are GRANTED. The motions for appointment of counsel and class certification (Papers 7, 40 and 43) are DENIED. Finally, the defendants’ motion to reconsider (Paper 55) is GRANTED and the Court’s prior ruling (Paper 54) is AFFIRMED.

MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION

NOW COMES Plaintiffs, by and through their attorney, Dawn M. Seibert, Prisoners' Rights Office, and move the Court to certify a class of all inmates who reside in constantly illuminated cells in Vermont. Plaintiffs claim that Defendant's use of constant illumination violates the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution; Chapter One, Article Eighteen of the Vermont Constitution; 28 V.S.A. § 853(b); and 28 V.S.A. § 601. Plaintiffs state the

following in support of their Motion:

1) The named plaintiffs currently reside in constantly illuminated cells. 2) The class comprises over 1,000 inmates; joinder of all members is impracticable.

3) There are questions of law and fact common to the class. 4) The claims of the named plaintiffs are typical of the claims of the class. 5) The named plaintiffs promise to fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 181 Filed 07/11/06 Page 2 of 2
6) Defendant has acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class, thereby making appropriate final injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief with respect to the class as a whole. Wherefore, Plaintiffs move the Court to certify a class of all inmates who reside in
constantly illuminated cells in Vermont. DATED at Montpelier, Vermont this July 7, 2006.

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT FORDECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
File No. 1:04-CV-335

INTRODUCTION

1. This is an action on behalf of David McGee, Jacob Sexton, and similarly situated

Vermont inmates who are, or have been, incarcerated at facilities where their cells are

constantly illuminated, twenty-four hours a day, which causes difficulty in sleeping,

exacerbates migraines and other mental health conditions, and has long-term detrimental

impact on their health.

2. At two Vermont State Correctional Facilities- Northern State Correctional Facility and

Southern State Correctional Facility- and in various units of other correctional centers throughout Vermont, 1 all inmate cells are lit twenty-four hours a day by "built-in security

lighting" at night and/or additional main cell lights by day. Though the Vermont

Department of Corrections ("DOC") alleges that 24-hour constant lighting is necessary

for security, at other facilities (or in specific units of some facilities) where there is no

1 According to Defendant, there are also constantly illuminated cells at Northeast Regional Facility in all cells but those in A unit, at Marble Valley Correctional Facility in all cells but those in A unit, at Northwest State Correctional Facility in all cells in F, G, and H units, at Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility in all cells except
those in A, B, and C units, and in all units at the Dale Correctional Facility.

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 195 Filed 04/16/07 Page 2 of 8
built-in security lighting, guards are able to effectively conduct night security checks using flashlights. 3. Constant exposure to light decreases sleep quality in several ways. First, constant exposure to light early in the sleep cycle delays the timing of the circadian clock, making it difficult to fall asleep. Second, exposure to light later in the sleep cycle will advance the circadian clock, causing a person to wake up sooner. In both situations, production of melatonin by the brain is suppressed. 4. Constant illumination leads to sleep deprivation, wh~ch has the short term effect of exacerbating conditions such as mood disorders and migraines, and generally lowering resistance to colds, flu, stress-related ailments, and causing weight gain. Research also shows that sleep deprivation results in cognitive problems, memory deficits, confusion and anxiety, and it intensifies psychiatric symptoms. 5. The scientific literature suggest that the long term effects of decreased melatonin production and sleep deprivation include risk factors for cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and certain types of cancer.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE 6. This action arises under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to redress the deprivation under color of state
law of right, privileges, and immunities secured by the Constitution of the United States. The rights sought to be redressed are guaranteed by the Eighth and the Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.. The Court has federal question jurisdiction over this controversy under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1343. 7. This Court has supplemental jurisdiction to hear Plaintiffs related state claim brought pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 18 ofthe Vermont Constitution under 28 U.S.C. § 1367.
2

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 195 Filed 04/16/07 Page 3 of 8
8. Venue is proper in the District ofVermont under 28 U.S.C. §1391 because the Plaintiffs are incarcerated there, and constant illumination is occurring in Vermont prisons. PARTIES
9. Plaintiffs David McGee, Jacob Sexton, Richard Pahl, Jose Torres, Kevin Kimber, Daniel Muir, and James Anderson are prisoners in the custody ofthe Vermont Department of Corrections who are currently incarcerated at either Northern State Correctional Facility or Southern State Correctional Facility, where all cells are constantly illuminated.2
10. Defendant Robert Hofmann is the Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Corrections. As Commissioner, Hofmann is responsible for Vermont DOC's daily functioning and administration. He is sued in his official capacity. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS Cell Lighting
11. According to Defendant, all cells at Southern State Correctional Facility and Northern State Correctional Facility have built-in security lighting. The security lighting system consists of fixtures mounted to the ceilings of the cells that use one fluorescent light bulb that is between 5 and 8 watts. The light output of these bulbs is approximately 375-425 lumens, respectively. A 5-watt compact fluorescent bulb provides a "similar light level" to a 25-watt incandescent bulb. An 8-watt fluorescent bulb is the approximate equivalent to a 45-watt bulb.
2Named plaintiff Jacob Sexton is currently incarcerated in a private facility operated by the Corrections Corporation of America ("CCA") by contract with the Vermont Department of Corrections. Kevin Kimber has been transferred to a CCA facility in Oklahoma. In Document 188, Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Niedermeier addressed Defendants' complaints regarding mootness, acknowledging that "[t]he difficulty in a case such as this is that the prison population is, by nature, transitory. See Document 188 at 8. The court held that Mr. Sexton could be a named plaintiff in the case because he suffered the injury at the time he filed his complaint, and class certification related back to the time the initial complaint. Id. at 9. Furthermore, the Court also found that Mr. Sexton, a class representative, exhausted his administrative remedies. And, named Plaintiff David McGee, who
3

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 195 Filed 04/16/07 Page 4 of 8
12. The built-in security lighting is mounted to the ceiling of the cells at issue and cannot be turned on or off by the inmate, nor is any type of shade allowed or provided. Inmates sleep in bunk beds within the cells. The top bunk is less than three feet from the ceiling where the fluorescent security light fixture is positioned. The security lighting provides enough light to read by in either the top or bottom bunk in the cell at all times in the cell. The security lighting is so bright that the main cell lights are unnecessary, and inmates frequently choose not to use the main cell lights.
13. According to the Defendant, the justification for such constant lighting is security, specifically that constant illumination is "an essential aid in suicide prevention," yet this essential aid is apparently not necessary at Southeast State Correctional Facility, the Caledonia Work Camp, Dale Correctional Facility, or A Unit ofNortheast State Regional Correctional Facility, A Unit of Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility, A, B, C, D orE Units of Northwest Regional Correctional Facility, A, B, or C Units of Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility. According to Defendant, in these facilities or units, use flashlights for security checks. The Effects of Constant Illumination
14. In the scientific literature the light and dark cycle is recognized as a powerful synchronizer of the circadian rhythms that keep the body in sync. Light interferes with sleep, at least in part, because it inhibits melatonin production and makes it more difficult to fall asleep at the beginning of the sleep cycle, and it continues to inhibit melatonin production and advances the end of the circadian cycle, causing those exposed to light to wake earlier.
also exhausted his administrative remedies, is now back at Northern State Correctional Facility, currently suffering constant illumination.
4

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 195 Filed 04/16/07 Page 5 of 8
15. Sleep deprivation has been shown to result in cognitive problems, memory deficits, and confusion and anxiety. In addition, it can intensify psychiatric symptoms, inhibit the immune response, and cause weight gain.
16. In recent studies of shift-workers, a link was demonstrated between light-induced suppression of melatonin and an increased risk of breast and colorectal cancers.
17. Hrayr Attarian, M.D., Assistant Professor ofNeurology and Medicine at the University of Vermont, and Director of the Vermont Regional Sleep Center, has agreed to provide expert testimony for Plaintiffs in this matter and will provide an opinion as to the shortterm and long-term harms associated with exposure to constant illumination.
18. Named Plaintiff Jacob Sexton complains that constant illumination exacerbated the documented, acute migraine headaches he suffers from, yet his consistent complaints to medical staff and exhaustion of the grievance process led only to Mr. Sexton being given a wool blanket to put over his head, which was not a practical option in the un-airconditioned facility in the summer months.
19. Named PlaintiffDavid McGee, now currently incarcerated at Northern State Correctional Facility, complains of problems with falling asleep and with staying asleep. Mr. McGee complains ofjet-lag like symptoms, an increased frequency ofheadaches, an increase in cold/flu-like symptoms, and mental fatigue and confusion. Mr. McGee complains that exposure to constant illumination exacerbates his existing depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders, and he complains of the future risk of cancer and other long-term risks he has been exposed to through constant illumination and concomitant sleep deprivation.

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 195 Filed 04/16/07 Page 6 of 8
CLAIMS FOR RELIEF First Claim - Eighth Amendment 20. By consciously subjecting Plaintiffs to the inhumane condition of constant illumination, Defendants have acted, and continue to act, with deliberate indifference to Plaintiffs' serious health concerns stemming from exposure to constant illumination and the resulting sleep deprivation it causes. Defendants have violated Plaintiffs' right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Second Claim - Chapter l, Article 18 of the Vermont Constitution 21. By consciously subjecting Plaintiffs to the inhumane condition of constant illumination, Defendants have acted, and continue to act, with deliberate indifference to Plaintiffs' serious health concerns arising from exposure to constant illumination and the resulting sleep deprivation it causes. Defendants have violated Plaintiffs' right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, which is, in effect, guaranteed by Chapter 1, Article 18 of the Vermont Constitution. See State v. Burlington Drug Co., 84 Vt. 243, 78 A. 882, 885886 (1911).
PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court: 1. Issue a judgment declaring the actions of Defendants described herein are unlawful and violate Plaintiffs rights under the Constitution and laws of the United States and the State of Vermont;

File No. 1:04-cv-00335

ORDER The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) filed August 3, 2010 (Doc. 276) recommends Defendant Andrew Pallito’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 238) be granted, the Plaintiff Class’s Eighth Amendment claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 be dismissed with prejudice, and its state law claim under the Vermont Constitution be dismissed without prejudice. The R&R further recommends Defendant Commissioner and Vermont Department of Correction’s Renewed Motion to Reconsider the Court’s October 1, 2009 Order and Renewed Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 251) be denied as moot. Appointed counsel for the Plaintiff Class did not file any objection to the R&R.

On September 30, 2010, this Court ordered a copy of the R&R be mailed to each of the Class representatives and set a new deadline for filing objections. Plaintiffs Kevin Kimber and David McGee each filed timely pro se objections. (Docs. 284, 286.) Defendant Andrew Pallito, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Corrections, filed a Response to the Objections on October 29, 2010. (Doc. 287.) This Court has reviewed the R&R, the Objections, and Defendant’s Response de novo and finds the objections to be without merit. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (requiring district court to determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition for which objections have been properly made).
Judge Conroy has thoroughly analyzed the factual and legal issues surrounding the Plaintiff Class’s claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 that night-time security lighting in prison cells caused harm to prisoners’ physical and mental health in violation of the Eighth Amendment, and its claim under the Vermont Constitution that the constant illumination violated prisoners’ right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.
The Office of the Vermont Defender General, Prisoners’ Rights Office was appointed to represent the Class and filed the Second Amended Complaint (Doc. 195) seeking only declaratory and injunctive relief for the Class, because it is not authorized to pursue claims for damages. It did so without prejudice to the pro se Plaintiffs’ individual damages claims based on constant illumination contained in the Amended Complaint filed October 3, 2005 (Doc. 99). See Minute Entry reflecting recorded telephone status conference held before Judge Jerome J. Niedermeier on April 17, 2006, ECF No. 174. The R&R notes that its recommendations regarding
2

Defendants’ liability for the Class claims dispose of the Defendants’ liability regardless of the form of relief being sought and suggests that the entire case can be dismissed. However, this Court declines to sua sponte grant summary judgment on the surviving individual damages claims. There is no motion before the Court on behalf of any Defendant addressing the individual damages claims, and the individual Plaintiffs are not represented by counsel. Furthermore, pro se plaintiffs require notice and an opportunity to respond before a court can rule on such a motion.
For these reasons, the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation is AFFIRMED, APPROVED and ADOPTED. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). It is hereby ORDERED as follows:
1. The Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 238) on claims contained in the Second Amended Complaint is GRANTED. The Eighth Amendment Class claim for declaratory and injunctive relief is DISMISSED with prejudice. The state law Class claim is DISMISSED without prejudice.
2. The Defendants’ Renewed Motion to Reconsider the Court’s October 1, 2009 Order and Renewed Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 251) is DENIED as moot.
3. The remaining Defendants may file a motion for summary judgment on the Plaintiffs’ individual claims for damages on or before January 31, 2011.
4. The caption of any pleading filed with the Court shall identify the remaining parties as set forth in this Order.
SO ORDERED.

No. 1:04-cv-335-jgm

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Docs. 289, 290, 291, 293) Incarcerated pro se Plaintiff Kevin Kimber has filed four motions in this case. The first two, Documents 289 and 290, docketed on January 3 and 4, 2011, respectively, are Motions to Appoint Counsel, dated and signed by Kimber on December 20, 2010. They are handwritten and identical in all material respects. Only if a pro se civil litigant’s position seems “likely to be of substance” should a court consider granting a request for appointment of counsel. Cooper v. A. Sargenti Co., 877 F.2d 170, 172 (2d Cir. 1989).

Here, the Court has already adopted a Report and Recommendation dismissing the Plaintiff class’s federal claims based on nighttime security illumination of cells, and the Court’s determination that Defendants are not liable on the class claims makes it unlikely the individual claims will be of substance. The motions for appointment of counsel are therefore DENIED.
Two other handwritten filings, Documents 291 and 293, docketed January 4 and January 11, 2011, respectively, are styled “Motion for Appeal” and are identical in all material respects, except the latter appends additional material, including a request for a hearing, and another request for counsel. The “Motion for Appeal” pages are dated and signed by Kimber on October 3, 2010. These motions are handwritten copies of another filing, Document 284, also styled as a “Motion for Appeal,” dated and signed by Kimber on October 3, 2010, but filed October 6, 2010 as an objection to the Magistrate Judge’s August 3, 2010 Report and Recommendation (Doc. 276). The substance of Kimber’s objections to the R&R were barely intelligible and were, in any case, considered when the Court reviewed the R&R prior to adopting it.
The identical newly filed “Motion for Appeal” documents do not raise any intelligible issues the Court can address. Nor do they identify any order of the Court such that the document could be construed as a notice of appeal from that order. The motions
2

are therefore DENIED. It is further certified that any appeal taken in forma
pauperis from this Order would not be taken in good faith because such an appeal would be frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
SO ORDERED. Dated at Brattleboro, in the District of Vermont, this 30th day of March, 2011.

General for the State of

26

Vermont, Waterbury, Vermont.

27

28

Appeal from a judgment of the United States District

29 Court for the District of Vermont (Murtha, J.).

30

31

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED

32 AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be

33 VACATED AND REMANDED.

34

35

Kimber, on behalf of a class of Vermont prisoners,

36 appeals from the judgment of the United States District

37 Court for the District of Vermont (Murtha, J.), granting

38 summary judgment dismissing his claim that 24-hour security

39 lighting in the cells violates the Eighth Amendment’s

40 prohibition against cruel and unusual treatment. The

2

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 321 Filed 03/25/14 Page 3 of 6

1 district court appointed the Prisoner Rights Office (“PRO”)

2 of the Vermont Defender General to serve as class counsel.

3 Kimber, as a class representative, argues here (and in the

4 district court) that the PRO’s performance was deficient.

5 We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying

6 facts, the procedural history, and the issues presented for

7 review.

8

The state contests Kimber’s standing to represent the

9 class in this appeal because he is pro se and unable to

10 understand the complex issues in the case. Generally, it is

11 inappropriate for a pro se litigant to represent the

12 interests of a class. See, e.g., Hagan v. Rogers, 570 F.3d

13 146, 158-59 (3d Cir. 2009). However, Kimber appears before

14 us with counsel. The consequences of disallowing Kimber

15 from challenging the PRO’s representation are also troubling

16 when the class counsel has abandoned any appeal and the

17 class consists of inmates who may otherwise have trouble

18 retaining counsel. We conclude Kimber has standing to raise

19 the issues before us.

20

The state also argues that Kimber’s appeal was mooted

21 when he was released from incarceration. While release

22 might moot Kimber’s individual claim for injunctive relief,

23 his release did not occur until after the class was

24 certified, and “class certification will preserve an

3

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 321 Filed 03/25/14 Page 4 of 6

1 otherwise moot claim.” Comer v. Cisneros, 37 F.3d 775, 798

2 (2d Cir. 1994). The state contends that the district court

3 erred in the initial certification of the class, since not

4 all of the named plaintiffs were subjected to 24-hour

5 security lighting at the time of certification. The

6 district court properly concluded, however, that the

7 prisoners’ claims are “inherently transitory,” such that the

8 class certification relates back to the filing of the

9 complaint. See Amador v. Andrews, 655 F.3d 89, 100-01 (2d

10 Cir. 2011); see also Muhammad v. N.Y.C. Dep’t of Corr., 126

11 F.3d 119, 123 (2d Cir. 1997) (noting, in a prison conditions

12 case, that there is an exception to the mootness doctrine

13 “generally invoked to preserve a class action in which some

14 members of the class retain a cognizable interest in the

15 outcome after the claim of the named representative has

16 become moot”). As a result, the class claim is not moot.

17

We review a district court’s appointment and

18 supervision of class counsel for abuse of discretion. See

19 Maywalt v. Parker & Parsley Petroleum Co., 67 F.3d 1072,

20 1078-79 (2d Cir. 1995); Foe v. Cuomo, 892 F.2d 196, 198 (2d

21 Cir. 1989) (“[T]he question of whether the district judge

22 abused his discretion in supervising the counsel before him

23 must be considered in light of the judge’s obligation to

24 insure that the plaintiff class is adequately represented

4

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 321 Filed 03/25/14 Page 5 of 6

1 throughout the litigation.”). In appointing the PRO, the

2 district court failed to address the mandatory factors set

3 forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(g). The court therefore did not

4 consider the PRO’s inexperience litigating class actions or

5 under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure more generally

6 (such as discovery requirements). Moreover, the court was

7 aware at the time of appointment–-and throughout the

8 litigation below--that the PRO lacked the resources

9 necessary to litigate this case properly. The PRO’s

10 deficiencies as class counsel became more apparent as it

11 blew through filing deadlines, requested numerous filing

12 extensions, and failed to communicate with the named

13 plaintiffs.

14

The PRO generously volunteered to take on this case

15 after the earlier withdrawal of two other attorneys.

16 However, its lack of resources and its inexperience in

17 federal class actions are significant considerations. We

18 recognize that the district court had few options, or none,

19 but we must conclude that it abused its discretion in

20 appointing and retaining the PRO as class counsel. We,

21 therefore, vacate the judgment of the district court. On

22 remand, the district court will consider an appropriate way

23 forward. The law of the case doctrine does not foreclose

24 any option to achieve this goal–-including decertification

5

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 321 Filed 03/25/14 Page 6 of 6

1 of the class or appointing new class counsel for the 2 currently certified class.1

3

For the foregoing reasons, we hereby VACATE AND REMAND

4 the judgment of the district court.

1 We note that appointed counsel for appellants indicated to the Court at oral argument a willingness to accept an appointment to continue the representation if this Court vacated the district court’s grant of summary judgment. Of course, we leave this to the district court to consider on remand.

MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (Papers 181 and 187)

This case focuses on the use of 24-hour lighting in

Vermont prison cells. The plaintiffs are inmates in the

custody of the Vermont Department of Corrections, and

pending before the Court is their motion for class

certification. Prior motions for class certification

were denied because the plaintiffs were proceeding pro

se. On February 10, 2006, the Court appointed counsel to

represent the plaintiffs on their claims for injunctive

relief. Counsel has now renewed the plaintiffs’ request

for certification as a class. For the reasons set forth

1 In their last several filings, both parties have identified Robert Hofmann as the lone defendant in this case. This may be because the current motions only pertain to prospective injunctive relief, and Hofmann is the current Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Corrections. Nonetheless, this case also has a damages component, and the operative amended complaint (Paper 99) lists several defendants in addition to Hofmann. In the future, rather than tailoring the caption to the form of relief being addressed at the time, the parties are requested to incorporate all defendants in their captions and discussions.

below, I recommend that the motion for class certification (Paper 181) and amended motion for class certification (Paper 187) be GRANTED.2
Factual Background This case was initiated by David McGee, who claimed to be filing the complaint on behalf of himself and “a minimum 700” other inmates who were being subjected to 24-hour lighting in their Vermont prison cells. (Paper 6 at 2). McGee claimed that certain cells contain “a built-in lighting fixture which contains either a 5-watt or 7-watt twin tube compact fluorescent light bulb which remains on 24-hours per day. These 24-hour lights are referred to as ‘security lights.’” Id. at 7. The security lights are allegedly located “within 3 ft. of the head of the top bunk occupant,” but “[t]he light is equally bright in all parts of the cell . . . . The security light is so bright that the main cell lights are seldom voluntarily used.” Id. at 8. McGee alleged that exposure to constant light has caused him “grave sleeping problems,” including
2 The Court expresses no opinion as to whether the plaintiffs may be entitled to injunctive relief under narrow provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3626(a)(1)(A).
2

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 3 of 14
difficulty falling asleep; restless sleep; frequent awakening during the night; severe headaches; painful eye strain; an increase in cold and flu-like symptoms; and exacerbation of his “existing depression, anxiety and bipolar disorders.” Id. at 8-9. He also “fears that exposure to constant illumination threatens to cause grave and imminent health problems in the future, including deadly hormone imbalances and certain types of cancer.” Id. at 9.
In support of his claims of future harm, McGee referenced several medical and science journals for the proposition that constant exposure to light suppresses the body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that assists in fighting off cancer. Id. at 10. Ultimately, McGee concluded that “[t]he threat of harm from constant illumination is so severe it violates contemporary standards of decency and no person aware of the threat would willingly expose themselves to such a risk.” Id. at 10-11. McGee also argued that constant illumination is not justified by penological concerns, and cited five other Vermont correctional facilities where personnel allegedly “use flashlights, not constant illumination, to
3

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 4 of 14
conduct checks of inmates.” Id. at 14. Since McGee filed his initial complaint, over 50
inmates have moved to be added as plaintiffs in this case. Another inmate, Jacob Sexton, filed his own lawsuit, and his case has since been consolidated with McGee’s. The initial complaint has been amended, and the Court has appointed the Office of the Vermont Defender General to represent the plaintiffs with respect to their claims for injunctive relief.
Discussion I. Class Certification
Plaintiffs’ counsel has moved to certify a class of over 1,000 Vermont inmates. (Paper 181). Rule 23 sets forth the prerequisites for certifying a class: “(1) the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable, (2) there are questions of law or fact common to the class, (3) the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class, and (4) the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a). These requirements are generally referred to as numerosity, commonality,
4

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 5 of 14
typicality, and adequacy of representation. See General Tel. Co. v. EEOC, 446 U.S. 318, 330 (1980). The class must also satisfy Rule 23(b), which encompasses, in part, cases wherein “the party opposing the class has refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class, thereby making appropriate final injunctive relief . . . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(2).
The plaintiffs’ motion alleges that all prerequisites under Rule 23 have been satisfied. In opposition, the defendant argues that the plaintiff class is not sufficiently numerous as required under Rule 23(a)(1). The defendant also claims that only Sexton has exhausted his administrative remedies, and that because Sexton is no longer housed in 24-hour lighting, he fails to satisfy the commonality, typicality, and adequacy requirements of Rules 23(a)(2), (3) and (4), respectively.
A. Numerosity Taking the prerequisites of Rule 23 in order, the first question is whether or not the numerosity requirement has been met. Although there is no fixed minimum for numerosity, the Second Circuit has observed
5

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 6 of 14
that “numerosity is presumed at a level of 40 members.” Consolidated Rail Corp. v. Town of Hyde Park, 47 F.3d 473, 483 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 515 U.S. 1122 (1995); see also Presbyterian Church v. Talisman Energy, Inc., 226 F.R.D. 456, 466 (S.D.N.Y. 2005) (“Numerosity is presumed when a class consists of forty or more members.”). Here, the plaintiffs contend that the class consists of all inmates who are subjected to constant illumination. The defendant argues that mere exposure is insufficient, and that the class members must have suffered an injury. Even if the Court accepts the defendant’s position, the Court has received over 50 motions to intervene from plaintiffs claiming injuries as a result of constant lighting. Therefore, the Court should deem the number of potential class members as a minimum of approximately 50 persons.
The Court should also find that joinder of these plaintiffs would not be practicable. When determining practicability, “[r]elevant considerations include judicial economy arising from the avoidance of a multiplicity of actions, geographic dispersion of class members, financial resources of class members, the
6

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 7 of 14
ability of claimants to institute individual suits, and requests for injunctive relief which would involve future class members.” See Robidoux v. Celani, 987 F.2d 931, 936 (2d Cir. 1993). In this case, the potential class members are alleged to be in several different locations in Vermont, and some, including McGee, have been transferred out of state. Being inmates, the class members are economically disadvantaged, “making individual suits difficult to pursue.” Id. Finally, injunctive relief would apply to all class members, while individual suits could results in inconsistencies. I therefore recommend that the Court find that joinder is impracticable, and that the potential class is sufficiently numerous to qualify for certification.
B. Commonality The second requirement, commonality, requires a showing that the prospective class members share common questions of law or fact. Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(2). Where the “claims of all proposed class members derive from the same [ ] policies and procedures, and are based on the same legal theories,” the commonality requirement is met. McNeill v. New York City Hous. Auth., 719 F.
7

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 8 of 14
Supp. 233, 252 (S.D.N.Y. 1989). In this case, the named plaintiffs and the members of the proposed class all base their claims upon the implementation of a widespread constant illumination policy.
The defendant contends that none of the named plaintiffs satisfies the commonality requirement. The defendant argues that in order to be a class representative, a named plaintiff must have exhausted his administrative remedies and must be currently housed in 24-hour lighting. According to the defendant, only Jacob Sexton has completed the prison grievance procedure, and Sexton is no longer confined in a constantly lit cell. The plaintiffs respond the McGee has also exhausted his administrative remedies. However, McGee’s claims pertain solely to Vermont prisons, and he has been transferred out of state.3
The difficulty in a case such as this is that the prison population is, by nature, transitory. McGee and Sexton are both examples of the pace at which prisoners are moved within the correctional system. Transfers
3 McGee recently submitted a declaration, pro se, claiming that he is being subjected to 24-hour lighting at his prison in Kentucky. He has not, however, amended his pleadings to add claims relating to correctional facilities in states other than Vermont.
8

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 9 of 14
arguably moot claims for injunctive relief, and frequent transfers make it difficult for prisoners to keep their claims alive while they are exhausting their administrative remedies. Those who are able to file suit while still being subjected to harmful conditions must then wait for a Court to consider their request for class certification.
With respect to any delay between the filing of the complaint and the consideration of a motion for class certification, the Second Circuit has held that for purposes of injunctive relief, certification may relate back to the initial complaint. See Comer v. Cisneros, 37 F.3d 775, 799 (2d Cir. 1994); Robidoux, 987 F.2d at 93839. In this case, it appears that Sexton was being subjected to 24-hour lighting when he filed his initial complaint. Therefore, according to the established law of this Circuit, he may continue to act as a class representative for those seeking injunctive relief. Because Sexton’s claims derive from the same policies and procedures as all other members of the class, the
9

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 10 of 14
commonality requirement is met.4 C. Typicality The third requirement, typicality, requires that the
claims or defenses of the representative party or parties be typical of those of the prospective class. Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(3). The representative claims need not be identical to the claims of every class member in order to meet the typicality requirement. McNeill, 719 F.Supp. at 252. However, the “disputed issue of law or fact [must] occupy essentially the same degree of centrality to the named plaintiff’s claim as to that of other members of the proposed class.” Caridad v. Metro-North Commuter R.R., 191 F.3d 283, 291 (2d Cir. 1999) (internal quotations omitted). Again, the claims being brought by the plaintiffs and the members of the prospective class all center around the defendant’s use of constant illumination. The Court should, therefore, find that the typicality requirement has been met.
D. Adequate Protection of Class Interests The final requirement under Rule 23(a) is that the
4 Because Sexton is an appropriate class representative, the Court need not address the question of whether exhaustion by any member of the class is sufficient, or whether, as the defendant argues, exhaustion must be accomplished by a class representative.
10

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 11 of 14
representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the prospective class. Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(4). When determining if this requirement is met, a plaintiff must make two showings: (1) that counsel for the prospective class is qualified, experienced, and generally able to conduct the litigation; and (2) that the class members, especially the representative party, do not have interests antagonistic to one another. See In re Joint Eastern & Southern Dist. Asbestos Litigation, 78 F.3d 764, 778 (2d Cir. 1996).
The Court has named the Office of the Defender General, Prisoners’ Rights Office as counsel in this case because that Office has an expertise in prison-related matters. Accordingly, the Court should deem plaintiffs’ counsel as qualified to conduct this litigation. The defendant has made no argument to the contrary.
The Court should also find that the class members’ interests are not antagonistic to one another. The named plaintiffs, like the members of the proposed class, have been subjected to constant lighting and have suffered injuries as a result. These claims are consistent and complementary to those of the prospective class. The
11

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 12 of 14
fact that plaintiffs Sexton and McGee may be limited to claims for damages does not impact their ability to establish facts that would be sufficient for an award of injunctive relief. See Ellis v. Blum, 643 F.2d 68, 84-84 (2d Cir. 1981). Accordingly, the Court should find that the plaintiffs can adequately represent the interests of the proposed class.
E. Rule 23(b) The plaintiffs have stated that they are bringing their class action pursuant to Rule 23(b)(2). That rule applies when “the party opposing the class has acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class, thereby making appropriate final injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief with respect to the class as a whole.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(2). This rule has clear application here, since the defendant is obviously aware of the lighting issue and has not, to date, taken action to remedy the alleged problem. Moreover, injunctive relief on the lighting issue, if warranted, would provide a remedy for the class as a whole. The Court should, therefore, find that the plaintiffs’ motion satisfies Rule 23(b).
12

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 13 of 14
II. Amended Motion for Class Certification In an effort to avoid the mootness issue that
arguably arises when a named plaintiff is transferred out of a constantly-lit cell, the plaintiffs have filed an amended motion seeking to certify a class of all inmates “who have resided in constantly illuminated cells in Vermont, currently reside in constantly illuminated cells in Vermont, and who will reside in constantly illuminated cells in Vermont.” (Paper 187 at 1). As discussed above, relation back to the initial filing alleviates the mootness problem. Nonetheless, the amended motion helps to define the scope of the class. Because the class should include inmates who are not currently being subjected to 24-hour lighting, but who are in constantlylit cells at the time of final judgment in this case, the motion should be GRANTED to the extent that those inmates are also suffering injuries as a result of such illumination.
Conclusion For the reasons set forth above, I recommend that the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification (Paper 181) and amended motion for class certification (Paper
13

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 188-1 Filed 09/25/06 Page 14 of 14
187) be GRANTED. I further recommend that the class consist of inmates who have been subjected, are currently being subjected, or who will be subjected to constant illumination in Vermont prison cells and who suffer injuries as a result. The Court has already appointed the Office of the Defender General to represent the plaintiffs, and that office should continue as counsel for the class. Finally, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(2)(A), the Court should not order that notice be provided to the class.

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 412-1 Filed 07/12/17 Page 2 of 8
3. This action was originally filed on December 9, 2004, as a pro se civil rights suit by Plaintiff David McGee. (ECF No. 6). An Amended Complaint was filed on October 3, 2005. (ECF No. 99). The District Court ofVermont appointed tbe Prisoner's Rights Office to represent the Plaintiffs on February 10, 2006. (ECF No. 167).
4. On July 11, 2006, Plaintiffs, having been appointed counsel, moved for class certification. (ECF No. 181). The Court granted the motion and certified a class consisting of inmates who have been subjected, are currently being subjected, or will be subjected to the 24-hour security lights. (ECF No. 189).
5. On April16, 2007, the Plaintiffs filed the Second Amended Comp1aint. (ECF No. 195). The Second Amended Complaint alleges that VT-DOC's 24-hour security lights violate Plaintiffs' right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under th.; Eighth ·and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. It further alleged a violation of Chapter 1, Article 18 ofthe Vermont Constitution. The Second Amended Complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to address the alleged constitutional violations.
6. Defendants answered the Second Amended Complaint on May 11, 2007. (ECF No. 196).
7. On April30, 2009, Defendants moved for summary judgment. (ECF No. 238). The Court granted Defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissed Plaintiffs' Eighth Amendment class claim for declaratory and injunctive relief with prejudice. Thestate law class claim was also dismissed, although without prejudice. (ECF. No. 288).
8. PlaintiffKevin Kimber appealed the summary judgment order to the Second Circuit. (ECF No. 303). The Second Circuit appointed Phillips Lytle LLP ("Phillips
- 2-

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 412-1 Filed 07/12/17 Page 3 of 8
Lytle") as appellate counsel. (2d Cir. ECF No 59). After considering Plaintiffs procedural and substantive arguments, the Second Circuit vacated the summary judgment order and remanded the case for further proceedings. (ECF No. 321).
9. "Upon remand, the District Court appointed Phillips Lytle as class counsel for Plaintiffs. (ECF No. 325). After Phillips Lytle's appointment, the parties engaged in extensive discovery. As part of discovery, the parties produced numerous documents, answered interrogatories, and conducted inspections of Chittenden Regional Correctional Facil!ty and Northwest State Regional Correctional Facility. During the inspections, Plaintiffs' experts measured the intensity and wavelength ofthe 24-hour security lights.
JO. On June 12, 2015, Defendants moved to decertify the class. In opposition to that motion, Plaintiffs submitted an affidavit from Steven W. Lockley, Ph.D. In that affidavit, Dr. Lockley opined that "the specific 24-hour illumination used in Vermont correctional facilities subjects exposed prisoners to a universal and substantial risk of serious future harm."
11. In late 2015, prior to Plaintif!S' expert inspections, the State installed bulbs in the 24-hour security fixtures that emit no more than 230 Lumens and are at or below 2700 on the Kelvin scale. In other words, the bulbs emit a warm, white light that is theoretically less dismptive to sleep and has less effect on melatonin production than the previously installed bulbs. These bulbs replaced the bulbs upon which Dr. Lockley based his opinion.
12. The parties have conducted extensive negotiations over several months to resolve Plaintiffs' demands that VT-DOC revise the practice ofusing 24-hour security lights. These negotiations were mediated by Richard Cassidy, Esq. The negotiations have been undertaken at arm's length and in good faith between Plaintiffs' counsel and high-ranking
-3 -

Case 5:04-cv-00335-gwc Document 412-1 Filed 07/12/17 Page 4 of 8
VT-DOC officia1s and their counsel. The parties have reached an agreement on VT-DOC's practices to sett1e P1aintiffs' claims. For settlement purposes on1y, and without admission of a v.io1ation of any federa1 civi1 right, the parties agree that this Agreement meets the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 3626(a)(1).
13. The parties agree that, after notice and an opportunity to object is provided to members of the class previous1y certified by the Court, the Court may enter an order finding this Agreement to be fair and reasonab1e to all class members.
14. All parties and their counsel recognize that, in the absence of an approved settlement, they face 1engthy and substantia11itigation, including trial and potential appellate proceedings, all of which will consume time and resources and present the parties with ongoing litigation risks and uncertainties. The parties wish to avoid these risks, uncertainties, and consumption oftime and resources through sett1ement under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
ACCORDINGLY, without any admission or concession by Defendants ofany current or ongoing vio1ations of a federa1 right, all claims for declaratory and injunctive re1ief asserted in the Second Amended Comp1aint sha11 be finally and fully sett1ed and re1eased, subject to the terms and conditions ofthis Agreement, which the parties enter into free1y, vo1untari1y, knowing1y, and with the advice of counsel. ll. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
15. The Court hasjurisdiction ofthis matter under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1343. Venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) because a substantial part ofthe events giving rise to P1aintiffs' claims occurred in the District ofVermont. lll. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
