OAKLAND DIVISION

ROBERT LATRELLE GLASS,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANTHONY LAMARQUE, et al.

Defendants.

C 04-4007 CW (PR)

STIPULATION AND ORDER

OF DISMISSAL

Following a mediation with The Honorable Magistrate Judge Nandor Vadas, the parties

agree as follows:

A. Plaintiff Robert Latrelle Glass (Plaintiff) filed his Complaint in this action on

September 22, 2004, and the Court ordered service on June 2, 2005. (Ct. Docket Nos.

1, 5.) 

B. In his Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that while incarcerated at Salinas Valley State

Prison he was denied access to the outdoors and exercise based on his classification as

a C-status inmate.

C. In its Order of Service, the Court screened Plaintiff’s Complaint and found that

liberally construed, Plaintiff’s allegations that (1) he had been denied access to the

outdoors and exercise had stated a cognizable Eighth Amendment claim and (2) that he

had been denied exercise solely because of his C-status and for no legitimate

penological purpose, had stated a cognizable equal protection claim. (Ct. Docket No.

5.) The Court ordered service of Plaintiff’s Complaint on Defendants Lamarque,

Mantel, Manuel, Treadwell, Caden, Monteiro, and Batchelor (Defendants). 

Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on June 9, 2006. (Ct. Docket Nos.

35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 47, 48.) The Court denied Defendants’ motion for summary

judgement as to Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim and granted the motion for

summary judgment as to the Equal Protection Claim. (Ct. Docket No. 49.) The Court

referred this matter to The Honorable Magistrate Judge Nandor Vadas for mediation as

to the remaining Eighth Amendment claim. (Id.) 

D. The parties mediated this matter before Magistrate Judge Vadas on May 10, 2007 at

California State Prison - Sacramento. A full and final settlement of this action was

reached by the parties. The parties wish to fully resolve all matters which were or

could have been asserted in this action. Therefore, they now enter into this stipulation

in order to fully settle and discharge all claims which are, or might have been, the

subject matter of the action, upon the terms and conditions set forth below.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH MATTERS DISCUSSED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE

VADAS AND THE PARTIES AT THE MAY 10, 2007 MEDIATION, THE PARTIES

STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Plaintiff agrees to the voluntary dismissal with prejudice

of the above-captioned action under Rule 41(a) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

2. In consideration for a release of all claims and a stipulation of dismissal in this action,

the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), on behalf of

Defendants, agrees to the following: (1) to pay Plaintiff Three Thousand Dollars and

no cents ($3,000); and (2) to bring Plaintiff before a classification committee to

reclassify Plaintiff’s status to A1/A status. 

3. At the time that Plaintiff signs this stipulation, he shall also sign and return to defense

counsel a Payee Data Record form. Upon receipt of the executed Stipulation and

Order of Dismissal and Payee Data Record Form, CDCR will have up to 90 days to: 

(1) issue the settlement payment check; and (2) bring Plaintiff before a classification

committee to reclassify Plaintiff’s status to A1/A status.

4. Plaintiff expressly waives and assumes the risk of any and all claims for damages

which exist as of this date, but which he does not know or suspect to exist, whether

through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or otherwise, and which, if known,

would materially affect his decision to enter into this settlement agreement. Plaintiff

has read the contents of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and

he expressly waives the benefits of this section. Section 1542 reads as follows: “A

general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect

to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him

or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

5. In consideration of the obligations set forth in Paragraph 2, Plaintiff completely

releases and forever discharges Defendants, all served and unserved defendants,

CDCR, Salinas Valley State Prison, and any unnamed defendants, from any and all

claims that are the subject of the action as alleged in Plaintiff’s Complaint that are

based on, related to, or derived from the alleged acts or omissions of Defendants,

CDCR, or Salinas Valley State Prison as alleged in Plaintiff’s Complaint filed in this

action.

6. Under California Penal Code § 2085.5 all outstanding restitution orders and fines must

first be paid directly from this settlement. The restitution fines and fees, if any, shall

be deducted from the settlement proceeds and the remainder of the settlement amount

will be issued by check payable to Plaintiff.

7. This agreement does not constitute an admission of liability or any wrongdoing on

behalf of any party.

8. Each party shall bear his own attorneys’ fees and costs.

9. This stipulation shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties arising from

the allegations alleged in this action, and it is expressly understood and agreed that this

stipulation has been freely and voluntarily entered into by all parties. It may not be

altered, amended, modified, or otherwise changed in any respect except by writing

duly executed by the parties to this agreement.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
