The Settlement Agreement covering the Baltimore City Detention Center was negotiated long after a previous Consent Decree had been entered and administratively closed. The settlement is comprehensive as to medical and mental health care, with some general physical plant provisions. The fees may also cover up to $100,000 in fees for formal post-settlement enforcement activities. Previous phases of the case prior to the old Consent Decree go as far back as 1965.
Three officers of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrived at an apartment (no warrant) searching for my client’s brother. My client voluntarily opened the door and spoke to the Officers.
