PLAINTIFF'S REPLY BRIEF IN RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE BRIEF
AND IN SUPPORT OF THE PLAINTIFF'S M OTION FOR SUM M ARY JUDGEM ENT
Plaintiff Traian Bejduveanu (Pro Se Litigant), hereafter known as çtMovanf', files thisresponse to the Defendant's Reply Brietl in Support of the Plaintiff's Motion for SummaryJudgm ent and states as follows:
Introduction
Defendant Dismas Charities, lnc., a non-protit corporation 501(c)(3) organization, whooperates 28 halfway houses in 13 states that contracts 9om the U .S. Govem m ent, of which Co-
defendants Ana Gisperq Derek Tomas and Lashanda Adams are employees of Dismas Charities,
lnc., entered into the docket on 1/12/2012 a brief in response to the M ovant's response brief, in
which they m ade an ttattem pt'' to assert that the M ovant, is unable to state a basis for his claim s,
whether of a constitutional or tortious nature. The Defendants' response brief was simply that,
an ttattempf', as they failed to address and/or rebut the core elements of the Plaintiff's
arguments, and more importantly their arguments are devoid of the tnzth, and facttzal statements
indicating that the Defendants' actions were in complete compliance with guidelines set forth
both by the Department of Corrections as well as M ovant's protections inherent within the
Constimtion. This response to the Defendant's reply brief, will again rebut the Defendant's
arguments, and will add additional clarity to the contentions originally made in the Movant's
Complaint, M otion for Summary Judgment to the Court, and his response brief to the Defendants
response brief.
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 1 of 35
Factual Backeround
On July, 28, 2010, with the approval of CCM Director Carlos Rodriguez the Movant was
transfer from Colman Low Correctional Facility to Dismas Charities, Inc. halfway house, located
in Dania, Florida. As is noted above, Defendant Dismas Charities, lnc., is non-proft com oration
501(c)(3) organization, who operates 28 halfway houses in 13 states that contract f'rom the U.SGovemment, of which Co-defendants Ana Gispert, Derek Tomas and Lashanda Adams are
employees of Dismas Charities Incom oration.
Upon arrival at Dism as Charities facility, the M ovant sir ed received a packet containing
the Dismas Halfway House Regulations, but did not receive a Dismas Charities Handbook, as
there were none available at the time of his arrival. It is important to note that the Dismas
Halfway House Regulations book is not the same as Handbook and does not contain the same
information as it is only a cursory overview of the policies and procedures contained within the
handbook, and the handbook docketed as evidence has been modified since the Movants second
arrest and lawsuit. The M ovant provided the appropriate staff m embers with copies of his driver
license, driving history from the Division of M otor Vehicles in Tallahassee, vehicle regiskation,
and valid insm ance, in compliance with the terms and conditions necessary to obtain pennission
to operate a motor vehicle during supervision. Be that as it may, the reason for which the
Movant was not approved to drive, as contended by the Defendants, is unknown even today. lt
was for this reason that the Plaintiff did not feel as though he was violating the terms of his
continement when on October 13, 2010, the M ovant drove his fam ily vehicle to Dismas halfway
house for his bi-weekly report.
An illegal search was conducted of the vehicle that M ovant drove and property was
removed from the vehicle without the knowledge of the Movant and without the M ovant being
present at the search. Defendants asserted that a cellular telephone, a phone charger and a packet
of cigarettes were found in the glove compartment of the car and confiscated. Data and evidencefrom the surveillance cameras that contained information regarding the illegal search and seizure
were intentionally destroyed.
During his residency at Dism as House, the M ovant was constantly terrorized,
intimidated, and humiliated without any regard for his medical conditions or his dignity, in that
he was forced to do cleaning jobs which were in direct violation of his doctor's directivesdoctor's orders, even going as far as to prevent his m edical treatment
, adding insult to injury. lnviolation of his Title V11 protections, the M ovant was discriminated and harassed constantly
, bythe Defendants, because he was a foreigner, spoke with an accent, practiced Greek-orthodoxReligion, and is white.
On October 20, 2010, at 6:30 A.M ., while sleeping in his bed at Dismas House, the
movant was arrested by two U.S. Marshall agents and transported to F.D .C. Miami, without anycharges levied against him and without Ilue Process of Law . The incarceration was donewithout the knowledge of USPO and CCM Director, Carlos Rodriguez
, as he did not si> thepapers for the incarceration, thus making it clear that the Defendants engaged in a campaign of
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 2 of 35
erasing evidence and fabricating documents in order to cover up any suspicion of the events.
The Movant is aware that the following documents have been fabricated (Movant's Exhibit,Documents #38, 41, 53, 58, 60, 61, 66). No federal employee of F.D.C. wanted to get involvedwith his case, they were aware of the covert and illegal actions of the Defendant. Federal
Department of Corrections M iami Counselor Price and Unit M anager Harrison, under the strict
suggestions of the F.D.C. warden, attempted in a few instances to contact the office of CCMDirector, Carlos Rodriguez, to no avail. The M ovant was ultim ately released from F.D .C. M iam i
on January 03, 201 1.
Direct Response to Defendant's Arzuments and Citation to Authoritv
The Plaintiff cannot m aintain any cause of action against any Defendant.
a. False Arrest and Im prisonm ent
The Defendants' in their response brief make three erroneous assertions about the
plaintiff with regards to his argum ents on false arrest and imprisonment:
ttplaintiff fails to set forth any facts demonstrating a false imprisonment or arrest by
any specitic Defendant'' (p. 3 of Defendants' response briet).2. tThe Plaintiff was under the misguided impression that he was a tGfree man'' during
his time at Dismas'' (p. 3 of Defendants' response brieg.çç-rhird, the Defendants did not arrest or imprison the Plaintiff' (p. 3 of Defendants'
response blief).
Let's take a m om ent to address the Defendants' first and third erroneous claim s that
Plaintiff fails to set forth any facts demonstrating a false imprisonment or arrest by anyspecific Defendant, and that the Defendants did not arrest or imprison the Plaintiff. A s
stated in M ovant's previous brief, it was the direct and indirect actions of the Defendant
which lead to the continem ent of the M ovant. Causation is, of colzrse, a required elem ent of
a false imprisonment. See Oviatt v. Pearce, 954 F.2d 1470, 1474 (9th Cir. 1992). Aprobation/ parole ofticer need not actually use force to detain a probation/parolee illegally.Although false imprisonment usually follows false arrest, false im prisonment m ay takeplace even after a valid arrest. ln a11 of the Reponses and briefs from the Defendants, they
claim that that the M ovant was charged introducing contraband to the facility, when in fact
he was charged with a violation 108, which specitically, ttpossession, M anufacm re, or
introduction of a hazardous tool (Tools most likely to be used in an escape or escapeattempt or to serve as a weapon capable of doing of doing serious bodily harm to others; or
those hazardous to institutional security or personal safet/', to include that of a cell phone.First and foremost, a cell phone unless used a detonation device cannot be seen as threat to
personal or instimtional safety. At best this alleged violation should have been charged as a
Code 305, ççpossession of anything not authorized for retention or receipt by the inm ate, notissued to through regular channels. Now, why would the Defendants' increase the charges
against the plaintiff such that they are more severe? The answer to that question is simple.A violation 108 would have required the Plaintiff s removal from the facility back to federal
prison, whereas if he w as charged appropriately, in-house sanctions would have sufficed.
3
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 3 of 35
Going back to the case 1aw and arguments asserted in our previous response, a police officer
may be held to have iiinitiated'' a criminal proceeding if he knowingly provided false
information to the prosecutor or otherwise interfered with the prosecutor's informed
discretion. See, Reed, 77 F.3d at 1054; Torres, 966 F.supp. at 1365. ln such cases, çtan
intelligent exercise of the ... (prosecutor'sq discretion becomes impossible,'' and aprosecution based on the false information is deemed ççprocured by the person giving the
false information.'' However, a private citizen may be held liable for false arrest under j1983 if he or she caused the plaintiff to be arrested by virtue of false statements he or she
made to the police. Doby v. Decrescenzo, 1996 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 13175, *40 (E.D. Pa.Sept. 9, 1996). Thus, otlr claim is clear, the Defendants did not place the Plaintiff inhandcuffs, they did however provided false and misleading statements to the Bureau of
Prisons such that their ability to levyjustice was impaired and the Plaintiff was denied theprivilege of the freedoms that come with having completed a prison sentence and beingafforded community m onitoring in a halfway house facility.
W hich leads us to address the Defendants' second contention, the Plaintiff was
under the misguided im pression that he was a %Gfree man'' during his tim e at Dismas. At
no point did the M ovant see himself as a free man dlzring his time at Dismas, and the
M ovant operating an automobile while under the assumption that he was authorized to do
so does not justify the Defendants' claim. Let's not mix apples with oranges, contrary tothe Defendants' statements, the M ovant was not a federal prisoner contined to a federal
facility, and thus could not be rearrested, he was a federal inm ate afforded the privilegeof dwelling in a halfway house and hom e continement due to his health. As we m ade
clear in our previous brietl the courts on the other hand have seen being on parole or inhalfway house as being more than just a privilege. The Court has found protected libertyinterests after an inm ate is released from institutional confinement. ln M onissey v.
Brewer, 408 U.S. 471 (1972), the Court recor ized a parolee's liberty interest inremaining conditionally free on parole: ''(H1e can be gainfully employed and is 9ee to bewith fam ily and friends and to form the other enduring attachm ents of norm al life. . . .
(H)is condition is very different from that of confinement in a prison.'' 1d. at 482. Relyingon Morrissey, the Court in Young v. Harper, 520 U.S. 143 (1997), held that an inmateenrolled in Oklahoma's pre-parole program also had a protected liberty interest entitling
him to due process before he could be removed from the program. There the pre-parolee
''was released from prison before the expiration of his sentence. He kept his own
residence; he sought, obtained, and maintained a job; and he lived a life generally free ofthe incidents of imprisonment.'' By virtue of the Defendants' willful disregard for
M ovants right to this privilege, the plaintiff suffered damages and opportunity cost, fornot being able to live not as free m an, but as a man who has earned the privilege of being
free of correctional institutional confinem ent.
The Defendants' argument that, Steven if any of the Defendants could arrest or
imprison the Plaintiff, a privilege exist as a matter of 1aw to engage in reckless or even
outrageous conduct if there is sufficient evidence that shows the Defendant did no more
than assert legal rights in a permissible way.'' There is nothing legal or permissible about
trumping up charges such that they cause an outcome that suited the Defendants' inherentdisgust and dislike for M ovant, in that there are documented cases of State Attorneys that
have been convicted of criminal charges for padding files with false charges and arrests.
4
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 4 of 35
In this case the Defendants are no different and it is for this reason that M ovant should be
awarded summaryjudgment.
b. Assault and Battery
The Defendants' again deviate from the truth when they claim that M ovant argued
that the Plaintiff's made an assertion that, çtNot providing a BP-9 and BP-IO form
constitutes an assault and battery'' (p. 4 Defendants brief response). The Defendants' areagain attempting to convolute the issue by m isstating the facts, in that we simply agreed
with the Defendant's assertion in their motion for summaryjudgment that Plaintiff hasnot provided any facts to support allegations of assault and battery. The M ovant's
statem ent was not an equation of assault and battery with the denial of these form s, but
rather to make the case that, ttno such record of the assaults and battery that took place as
the Defendant's refused to provide the M ovant with and m eans of docum enting said
actions.'' Anna Gispert's admission of not having provided BP-9 form s to M ovant,
provides the M ovant no means of documenting the abuses of process, abuses of
Constimtional rights and civil liberties on the part of the Defendants, and even goes to theextent of providing the M ovant very little material docllmentation of his experiences at
the halfway house, which was the intention of the Defendants' a11 along, essentially
concealing and covering up their misconduct. As we argued previously the courts havem ade it clear that, in Allen v. M c M orris, No. 4:06-cv-8l0 SNL, 2007 W L 172564, at *2
(E.D. Mo. Jan. 19, 2007) ttholding allegation that prisoner could not get grievance policyor forms barred summary judgment for defendants'', and because of this Court has anobligation to deny the Defendant's request for summaryjudgment, and the Movantshould be awarded summary judgment.
M alicious Prosecution
Even w ith the M ovant's eloquent and cogent rebuttal of the Defendants' claim
that the M ovant has not, and cannot establish the elem ents of malicious prosecution,
especially the key elements of the commencement of judicial proceeding on the plaintiff,by the defendant and termination of the in favor of the Plaintiftl that the Defendants mustbe awarded summaryjudgment. The fact of the matter is that çW11 federal claims formalicious prosecution are borrowed from the common 1aw tort ... (whichl imposesliability on a private person who institutes criminal proceedings against an innocent
person without probable cause for an improper purpose. The federal claim under (42U.S.C.) section 1983 for malicious prosecution differs from the state civil suit in that itrequires that state officials acting 'under color of law' institute the criminal proceedings
against the plaintiff and thereby deprive him of rights secured under the Constitution.''
Torres v. Superintendent of Police, 893 F.2d 404, 409 (1st Cir.1990).
The Plaintiff was not guilty of introducing hazardous materials into a correctional
facility, as his cell phone was simply contraband, and not something that could be
used to escape, or harm the welfare of those in the facility. M oreover, this cellphone
was contraband for individuals staying at Dismas facilities, and were not contraband
for an individual on home confinement. Furthermore, the cell phone in his vehicle,
m ight in the case of drug possession constitute material possession, however given
5
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 5 of 35
the fact that he was not attempting to introduce it into the facility on his person, and
was in fact in the glove compartment of his vehicle unbeknownst to the Movant does
not constitute acttzal or material possession. The plaintiff was under the assumption
that he was able to drive, and his ignorance of the process does not take away from
his guilt, but him operating a motor vehicle is not the reason that he was taken back to
prison, as that would have been something addressed in-house through Dismascorrectional procedures, but rather it was the charge having inkoduced hazardous
material that constituted his denial of his parole. Given the fact that the Defendants'
were searching for any reason to have M ovant's parole revoked, due to their personalhatred for Plaintiff and what he stood for, acting under the color of the law,
Defendants intentionally mis-indicted Plaintiff, thus constimting the Movant's claim
for malicious prosecution, and consequently depriving him of rights sectlred tmder the
Constitution, as he had served his debt to society in prison confinem ent thus earning
him the privilege of parole.
The Defendants want the Movant to address a11 the individual elements ofmalicious prosecution because they are aware their actions denied the M ovant the
ability to show how alleged conduct deprived him of liberty, by a distortion and
com zption of the processes of law, i.e., falsitication of evidence, mischarging him
with violations that where much greater than his actions, and other eregious conductnamely the denial of documents necessary to ensuring due process, resulting
ultimately in the denial and revocation of his parole, and it is for this reason that
Movant should be awarded summaryjudgment.
d. Abuse of Process
The Defendants make the claim that for Plaintiff to support a cause of action for
abuse of process, ttthe Plaintiff must prove that the pxocess was used for an immediate
purpose other than which it was designed'' (p. 6 Defendants' response brieg. Theseprocesses and procedures put in place by the Department of Corrections where not put
into place to deny the Plaintiffs rights and privileges, and the M ovant further asserts that
these procedttres and processes were not put into place to cover up the Defendants'
willful misconduct and misdoings. The Defendants are basically asserting that becausetheir fabrication of documents, untruthful statements, and padded tiles achieves the
pumose of punishing the defendant, that it is justitied. The fact of the matter is that anabuse of process occurs when there, tçis a cause of action in to14 arising from one party
making a malicious and deliberate misuse or perversion of regularly issued court process
(civil or criminal) notjustitied by the underlying legal action'' (W olff v. McDonnell, 418U.S. 539, 94 S.Ct. 2963, 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974)). This is what has occurred in the caseof the Plaintiff, and the M ovant is so sure of assertion, that he challenges the Defendants
to produce docum ents that are in Sentry entered and stam ped with the proper signatures
and dates. The Plaintiff and the Defendants both know that that these forms do not exist
as they would have been documented as evidence of compliance with due process andlawful arrest by the Defendants. Again, a11 that has been provided are fabricated
documents, and Plaintiff has in his previous response statement provided exhibits of
instances in which employees admonishing others to fabricate documents. If the
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 6 of 35
M ovant's claims to this end are, Eçtmsubstantiated and self-serving'' as the Defendants
assert in their most recent response brief, then the Defendants should have no trouble
providing evidence of said documents being entered into the Sentry system that arecompliance with guidelines 9om the National Archives and Records Administration and
the CCM , rather than the documents they have provided that are wrought with the
Defendants' mistakes and inaccuracies as a result of their haste to cover up their
misdeeds. Accordingly, the Movant should be awarded summaryjudgment.
e. Negligence and Gross Negligence
The Defendants claim that the Plaintiff fails to m aintain a cause of action for
negligence or gross negligence because the Plaintiff cannot show a duty owed by the
Defendants that was breached, or dam ages that tlowed from any alleged breach of
duty. I'he Defendants even go as far as painting themselves are caring and
compassionate claim ing that they m ade the recomm endation that the M ovant not
participate in any manual activities. However, in on page 3 of Exhibit A to this
response points out an instance in which Ana Gispert, that she believes that ttdusting
qualifies'', thus giving him a directive to perlbrm manual labor. After days and days
of harassm ent in M s. Gispert's absence, the M ovant sent an em ail an email within this
Dismas Charities internal system indicating, tt. .. pain and discom fort in my liver''
(Exhibit A, p. 4 to this response). Yet again, in a letter dated 10/19/2010, the plaintiffwrote, ttthis letter is to advise you that today, 10/19/2010, 10:50 A.M ., 1 was called to
the front desk and told that 1 should vacuum the room for him, in an attempt to
intimidate me.'' He goes on to state that, t:.. . as a result of a11 actions against m e, for
the last week, by M r. Thomas and his staff, m y liver has swollen and 1 do experience
pain'' (Exhibit B, p. 4, to this response). The Movant went on to request a BP-9 formin the same letter, and did so 5 times within the correspondences within the Exhibit B,
in addition to countless verbal request for these fonns. lt is clear that from just theintemal correspondences alone, that the Defendants breached their duty, and their
denial of the BP-9 form was only an attempt to prevent any further docum entation of
the violations of breach of duty and the obvious damages that resulted from the
harassment, forced manual labor, that exacerbated the M ovant's medical condition, of
which the Defendants aware of the damage being cause, as evident in M rs. Gispert's
promise to address the issue with Mr. n omas (Exhibit A, p. 4, to this response).
Therefore, the Defendants' argument that plaintiff s motion for summaryjudgment is,ççdevoid of any proper facts supporting any negligence, claims of forced manual labor,
constantly terrorized and intimidated, and permitted to accept meals form his wife'', is
yet another diversion from the truth as proof of the negligent acts on the part of the
defendant, and the direct and proximate damages that resulted to the plaintiff are
documented in Dismas Charities own internal messaging system (Defendant's
response, p. 7). In the Plaintiff's previous response to Defendants' motion for
summaryjudgment he asserted that, a prison ofticial violates a prisoner's EighthAmendment rights, and is deem ed negligent if he/she is deliberately indifferent to the
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 7 of 35
prisoner's serious medical needs. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 103-04, 97
S.Ct. 285, 50 L.Ed.2d 251 (1976). Deliberate indifference encompasses onlyunnecessary and wanton intliction of pain repugnant to the conscience of mankind.
See id.at 104-06, 97 S.Ct. 285. ''Subjective recklessness,'' as used in the criminal law,is the appropriate test for deliberate indifference. To incur liability tmder j 1983, anindividual must be personally involved in the deprivation of a person's constimtional
rights. See Lozano v. Smith,718 F.2d 756, 768 (5th Cir.l983), and for these reasonsthe Movant request that the court grant his motion for summary judgment beawarded.
2. The Complaint fails to allege any tortious conduct or violations of Federal Law
or the Constitution.
a. First Am endm ent
The Defendant makes the claim in his previous response brief that, tihe (themovant) fails to provide any proper evidence demonstrating that he asked to attendreligious services outside a five mile radius and that his request was denied'' (p. 8,Defendants response brieg. Yet again we are forced to address yet another departuref'rom the tnzth on the pm't of the Defendants. On 7/29/2010 the M ovant made a request toLashonda Adams, in which he requested, and was denied the ability to attend a Romanian
Orthodox Chtlrch located on State Road 7, in Pembroke Pines, to which M s. Adams
replied that you are only allowed to travel within five miles of the facility for religious
services (Exhibit C, p 1 to this response). In fact, the Movant made, 2 other documentedrequest on 8/4/2010 and on 10/6/2010, a11 of which were denied by Ms. Adams (ExhibitC, pp 2-3, to this response). A11 parties including the defendants are aware of the specialexception to the (5) mile rule which states that, tian exception to the rule will only bemade when your stated denomination of worship cannot be located within five miles of
the program''. (Exhibit 4 to the Plaintiff response for summaryjudgment). Yet againbecause Defendants were convinced that they had covered up their violation of thePlaintiff s first Amendment right by denying him a BP-9 form, they felt convinced that
making a statement so far from the tnzth such as, ççhe (the movant) fails to provide anyproper evidence dem onstrating that he asked to attend religious services outside a tive
mile radius and that his request was denied'', but they failed to remember that their own
intemal system contained the evidence that M ovant would use to validate his claim forviolation of his first amendm ent right to freedom of religion, and accordingly, the
Movant should be awarded summary judgment.
Fourth Am endm ent-
The Defendants attempt to make the case that as a condition of the Plaintiff'sparole that he consented to <çsearches of his person and vehicle''. However, the Plaintiff
made it clear to individuals at Dismas House that he was simply operating a fnmily
vehicle, to 11511 his required reporting requirements. Although the individuals in thehalfway house had, right to search his person upon entering the building, the Supreme
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 8 of 35
Court has found that, his family members have a protected interest against their property
being subject to searched and seizure. ''When the prosecution seeks to justify awarrantless search by proof of voltmtary consent, it is not limited to proof that consentwas given by the defendant, but may show that the perm ission to search was obtained
from a third party who possessed common authority over or other suftkient relationship
to the premises or effects sought to be inspected.' United States v. M atlock, 415 U. S.
164, 171 (1974). ln the Movant's previous response to the Defendant's motion forsummaryjudgment the Movant acknowledged that, while a probationer's right of privacymay be justifiably diminished during the period of probation (see Inman v. State, 124 Ga.App. 190 (2) (183 SE2d 413) (1971)), ''mobationary status does not convert aprobationer's family, relatives and friends into 'second class' citizens. . . . These peopleare not stripped of their right of privacy because they may be living with a probationer or
(sjhe may be living with them.'' State v. Fogarty, supra at 151. The Supreme Court ofM ontana, the only court in the country to address the ramitkations of the warrantless
search condition of probation on third parties living with a probationer, concluded that a
search warrant based on probable cause must be obtained before a probationer's residenceor property may be searched ''so that the legal interests of innocent third persons can beadequately protected. . . .'' Given this fact, the Movant should be awarded summary
judgment.
c. Fifth and Fourteenth Am endments
The Defendants m ake the claim that the Plaintiff received proper notice of hisviolation, and was provided a hearing upon his rettzrn to Federal Detention Center in
M iami. However, the M ovant wants to make it clear that he never had a hearing with
anyone, neither at Dismas Charities, nor with any judicial body at the Bureau of Prisons.The incarceration w as done without the knowledge of U SPO and CCM Director, Carlos
Rodriguez, as he did not sign the papers for the incarceration, thus making it clear that the
Defendants engaged in a campaign of ermsing and fabricating documents in order to cover
up any suspicion of the events. The M ovant in addition to sanctions levied upon him bythe halfway house, he was forced to service an additional 81 days in federal incarceration.
Exhibit D to this motion contains the intemal (pp1-2, exhibit D) contain the documentswhich indicate that both Dismas Charities punished with 3 weeks of extra duty, novisitors for 3 weeks, and no weekend passes, yet the Defendants have the nerve to claim
that they had no part in punishing the M ovant, and more importantly the alleged
document which the Plaintiff is convinced is a fabrication by the defendants to cover up
their illegal acts, (pp 3-4, Exhibit D to this response) was a document that Plaintiff hadnot even seen or been aw are existed until long after he was released and began the
process of discovery for this lawsuit. M ost likely because the document did not existuntil after he was released from the Federal facility, which calls into question the
Defendants' claim that Plaintiff was afforded proper due process, and for these reasons,
the Movant should be awarded summaryjudgment.
d. Eighth Am endm ent
The Defendants explicitly state in their response brief that, çûthe Plaintiff fails to
set forth any cruel or unusual punishment'' and they go on to joke tongue in cheek that,
9
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 9 of 35
çf ertainly the Plaintiff who is still serving a prison sentence cannot complain that being
deprived a meal from his wife is cruel and unusual as inmates are not permitted home
cooked meals'' (Defendants'' response, p 9). In analyzing claims of Eighth Amendmentviolations, the courts must look at discrete areas of basic htlman needs. As we have
recently held, '' '(A)n institution's obligation under the eighth amendment is at an end if itfumishes sentenced prisoners with adequate food, clothing, shelter, sanitation, medical
care, and personal safety.''' Wright v. Rushen, 642 F.2d 1 129, 1 132-33 (9th Cir.lg8lltcitation omitted). 682 F.2d at 1246-47. When analyzing whether Dismas charitiesviolated their obligation to respect the Plaintitr s eight am endment rights, it is clear that
the issue is no longer a laughing m atter.
Looking back at the M ovant's discussion of the Defendant's Negligence, it is
clear that although the defendants attempt to paint themselves as caring and
compassionate, going as far to point out that they made the recommendation that the
M ovant not participate in any m anual activities. However, in on page 3 of Exhibit A to
this response points out an instance in which Ana Gispert, that she believes that ttdusting
qualifies'', thus giving him a directive to perform manual labor. ARer days and days ofharassment in M s. Gispert's absence, the M ovant sent an email an email within this
Dismas Charities internal system indicating, Gt. .. pain and discomfort in my liver''
(Exhibit A, p. 4 to this response). Yet again, in a letter dated 10/19/2010, the plaintiffwrote, tçthis letter is to advise you that today, 10/19/2010, 10250 A.M ., 1 was called to the
front desk and told that I should vacuum the room for him, in an attempt to intimidate
m e.'' He goes on to state that, <t. . . as a result of a11 actions against m e, for the last week,
by Mr. Thomas and his staft my liver has swollen and 1 do experience pain'' (Exhibit B,p. 4, to this response). lf forcing an individual that Defendants had previously had madethe case to the B'ureau of Prisons to not participate in any manual labor, to dust andvacuum then is not a clear case of cruel and unusual punishm ent, and thus a violation of
the duty to provide adequate medical care and personal safety, there is no justice in theworld.
The Defendants in an attempt to cover their violations of his constitm ional rights,
attempt to paint him as a spoiled man that simply was looking for a home cooked meal
from his wife. Even with them admitting to the fact that they were aware of his medicalconditions, the Defendants have refused to address the Plaintiff's claim that he was not
provided meals that were diabetic friendly, and was given disciplinary action for an
incident where is wife was delivering food as a result of him not receiving adequate
nutritional from the halfway house, something that they are required by law to do. This
violates Department of Correction Policies in which, it is mandated that each institution'sfood service program offers nutritionally balanced, appetizing meals. Special Food and
Meals, 28 C.F.R. j 547.20 and Program Statement 4700.05, Food Services Manual,provide that medical diets be available to inmates who require such diets. The M ovant's
research has found however that, a prison oftkial violates a prisoner's Eighth
Amendment rights, and is deemed negligent if he/she is deliberately indifferent to the
prisoner's serious medical needs. See Estelle v. Gamb1e,429 U.S. 97, 103-04, 97 S.Ct.
285, 50 L.Ed.2d 25l (1976), and accordingly the Movant's motion for summaryjudgment should be granted.

Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 10 of 35
3. The Plaintiff has failed to appear for depositions, Defendants' designated facts
should be taken as established for purposes of this M otion for Sum m ary
Judgment, as the Defendants claim and Plaintifrs pleadings should be stricken.
On Decem ber 06, 201 1 the Defendants filed a M otion to Dismiss Action for
Failtzre to Appear at Deposition (Document #78). The Movant acknowledges that theDefendant's cotmsel attempted to schedule depositions on the following occasions;
October 10, 20l 1, November l 1, 201 1, and December 5, 201 1 (Composite Exhibit 1 toDefendants motion). The Movant again further acknowledges that he tmderstands theimportance of said depositions for the public's interest in expeditious resolution of
litigation, the court's need to manage its dockets. lt is as a result of this understanding
that the M ovant m ade every attempt to communicate via emails between the M ovant and
the Defendant's counsel as to his inability to make attend the depositions due to hisdocumented and court docketed illnesses. Furthermore, as evident in the back and forth
email correspondences, the Defendant's counsel made no request for current medical
documents to justify the Movant's assertion that he was unable to attend, which theM ovant would have been glad to provide, such that said documentation would result in
either a rescheduling of the M ovant's deposition to a time that he was physically able to
appear for his deposition, or such that other arrangements for deposing the M ovant could
be reasonably made i.e.) via telephone or close circuit television. It is not clear as towhy the Defendant's counsel would question the M ovant's health as he was originally
released from the Defendant's Halfway House to home confinement due to several
medical conditions, namely being diagnosed with Hepatitis C infection, Cirrhosis of theliver, diabetes, chronic fatigue, depression, thrombocytopenia, ascites, 1ow platelet count,
an possible liver cancer indicated by elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels shown in blood test
and M R1 results. Given the fact that the only subsequent changes to the M ovant's health
condition has been ones in which his health has ftzrther deteriorated, and that the M ovantbelieved in good faith that the Defendant's and their counsel were aware of these
circumstances, and furtherm ore that Defendant's cotmsel did not request any updated
medical records 9om the Movant indicating a change in his current medical condition, he
did not provide further proof of his conditions as it was not requested or warranted underthe circum stances. The Defendant's counsel in his motion asserts that because the
M ovant was able to appear at mediation, prepared his M otion for Summary Judgment,Statement of Facts, Revised Statem ents of Facts, and the previous response to the
Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment, M ovant should have been able to make it to
the scheduled depositions; however this assertion does not take into consideration that for
the for the last seven months, the Ascites the M ovant has been battling has caused his
physicians to give him a 50/50 chance of surviving his scheduled surgery, which has beenrescheduled due to his exacerbated medical condition, and the fact that he has used what
little rem aining energy he had remaining to prepare his motions and court documents.
(See Composite Exhibit 2 to this motion). Since, The Defendants did not respond orrebut the Plaintiff's arguments citation of Civil Procedure, and moreover they did not
raise any new arguments to this effect, the M ovant reasserts the following key factors
with respect to the Federal nzles of Civil Procedure and the remedies that the Defendantshad at their disposal:
11
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 11 of 35
Federal Rulets) of Civil Procedtlre 30(b)(4) deals with the administration of a depositionwhen a party is physically unable to attend a scheduled deposition it provides additional
avenues for obtaining the information that achieves both the Defendant's need forinformation in regards to the discovery and the M ovant's physical ability to comply:
GçBy Remote Means. The parties may stipulate--or the court may on motion
order- that a deposition be taken by telephone or other remote means. For the
pumose of this nzle and Rules 28(a), 37(a) (2), and 37(b) (1), the deposition takesplace where the deponent answers the questions.''
This however would have required a court order, which the Defendant's counsel was
unwilling to acquire. Subdivision (@# (43. ln order to facilitate less expensive procedures,provision is made for the recording of testimony by other than stenopaphic means- c.g.,
by mechanical, eleckonic, or photopaphic means. Because these methods give rise to
problem s of accuracy and trustworthiness, the party taking the deposition is required to
apply for a court order. The order is to specify how the testimony is to be recorded,
preserved, and filed, and it may contain whatever additional safeguards the court deemsnecessary. W hich leads the M ovant to question whether the Defendant truly questioned
the M ovant's health condition, or whether this was sim ply a subversive tactic to avoid the
court addressing Movant's Petition for Summary Judgment as they were fearful of
strength of the M ovant's case.
3. Rule 37(d) authorizes the district court to require an attorney ''to pay the reasonableexpenses, including attorneys' fees, caused by the failure'' of its client to appear at a
deposition, ''unless the court tinds that the failure was substantiallyjustified or that othercircumstances make an award of expenses unjust.'' Under Rule 37(b)(2), which hms thesame language as Rule 37(d), the blzrden of showing substantial justitication and specialcircumstances is on the party being sanctioned. FalstaffBrewing Corp. v. M iller Brewing
Co., 702 F.2d 770, 784 (9th Cir.1983). We thus apply the same burden of proof for Rule37(d). Since, Movant is the one here in the case facing sanctions, the btlrden of proof forproving that substantialjustification for sanctions falls on the Defendants and theircounsel, and although the Defendant's counsel has proven himself to be an expert in the
area of law, his ability to make material statements of facts towards the Movant's medical
condition and ability to make it to depositions is in question.
The courts have also found in Hyde & Drath v. Kenneth R. Baker that:
ttW e cannot conclude that each of the appellant comorations was substantially
justitied in failing to attend the depositions. Only K'ung's failure to appear wassubstantiallyjustitied. Although we have declined to reach the merits of theargum ent that K'ung was excused from attending the depositions for health
reasons, we do decide that K'ung had, at the least, a good faith dispute concem ingthe question of whether he was obligated to appear in light of his serious illness.
He was therefore substantially justified in failing to appear at the deposition. Id.(In fact he subsequently died of brain cancer). However, as discussed above, noneof the other com orations have a good faith dispute concerning their failttres to
appear. Except for K'ung, Hyde & Drath has failed to show that its clients were
substantiallyjustified in violating the court's discovery orders. (Hyde and Drath v.Kenneth R. Baker, et al (24 F.3d l 162:.'9
5. lf the Defendant's counsel was tnlly convinced that the M ovant was avoiding their
request for discovery via deposition, they could have exercised their rights under Federal
12
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2012 Page 12 of 35
Rule of Civil Procedure 45(b)(c)(d) andtg and tiled a Subpoena for Deposition, in whichthe court would issue a Command to Attend a Deposition. This would be done in an
c#èr/ to (c,)(1) Avoiding Undue Burden or Expense; Sanctions. A party or attorneyresponsible for issuing and serving a subpoena must take reasonable steps to avoid
imposing undue burden or expense on a person subject to the subpoena. The issuing courtmust enforce this duty and impose an appropriate sanction- which may include lost
enrnings and reasonable attorney's fees--on a party or attomey who fails to comply. In
following the nlles of civil procedure, the court would issue and order for contempt inwhich the issuing court m ay hold in contempt a person who, having been served, fails
without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena.6. Given the fact that Defendant's counsel knows that they would not have m et the burden
of proof requiring the court to issue a subpoena for the M ovant to appear in light of the
critical nature of his health condition, they chose instead to circumvent this process, and
use other avenues of achieving this means to their ends, thus robbing the court of itspower to com pel compliance with the rules of civil procedlzre.
A district court has wide discretion to establish the time and place of depositions. ln re
Standard Metals Com., 817 F.2d 625, 628 (10th Cir.1987), cert. dismissed, 488 U.S. 881,109 S.Ctd. 201, 102 L.Ed.2d 171 (1988). Here, the special master explained that it wasnecessary for the Hong Kong depositions to take place in San Francisco so that the court
could oversee the proceedings since appellants had disregarded the previous depositionorder. He also noted that appellants had done business and filed suit in the Northern
Diskict of Califom ia and should therefore expect to have to appear there. These facts are
sufficient to establish that there was no abuse of discretion in ordering the depositions to
occur in San Francisco.8. Before a diskict court dismisses a complaint, it must weigh the five factors prescribed in
W anderer v. Johnston, 910 F.2d 652, 656 (9th Cir.1990). Then, the district court mustfind that a party's behavior in ignoring the depositions demonskated willfulness, bad
faith, or fault. Felstad v. American Honda Motor Co., 762 F.2d 1334, 1341 (9thCir.1985).
9. Finally, the tifth factor requires the district court to consider altemate, less severe,
sanctions before ordering dismissal. To determine whether the district court fulfilled this
obligation, the reviewing court examines whether the court (1) explicitly discussed thefeasibility of less dmstic sanctions and explained why alternative sanctions would be
inappropriate, (2) implemented altemative sanctions before ordering dismissal, and (3)wam ed the party of the possibility of dismissal before acm ally ordering it. Adriana, 913F.2d at 1412- 13. But, ''explicit discussion of alternatives is unnecessary if the district
court actually tries altematives before employing the ultimate sanction of dismissal.''
M alone, 833 F.2d at 132.
Accordingly the Movant should be awarded summaryjudgment.
Conclusion
W HEREFORE, taking into consideration the aforementioned prem ises, and the
Defendants' inability to provide honest, persuasive arguments to support their claims, the
Movant respectfully requests the Court to awarded summary judgment in his favor.

Staff explained to him that it was against the rules for him to operate avehicle without permission and we searched his vehicle. During the search staff found an unauthorized cellphone (black Motorola in offender Bujduveanu's name) and a black Motorola car phone charger.
