Case Summary

On June 18, 2002, deaf inmates filed a lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii against the Public Safety Department of Hawaii, the Hawaii Paroling Authority, and the state of Hawaii. Represented by attorneys from the National Association of the Deaf Law Center and the Levin Education Access Project, the plaintiffs alleged violations of their constitutional rights. Further information about the complaint is unavailable because all of the case's documents are sealed.

On March 21, 2003, Judge Samuel King granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion to dismiss. Judge King also granted in part and denied in part the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. After this order, the parties entered into settlement discussions.

The parties settled in early 2004, and June 3, 2004, the case was dismissed. No further information is available on the case.
