This class action lawsuit was filed on February 1, 2019, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The class, certified on May 30, 2023, represented individuals arrested by City of Fairfield officers and detained in the Butler County Jail for more than 48 hours without a probable cause determination by a judicial officer between February 1, 2017, and February 28, 2019. The plaintiffs alleged that the City of Fairfield, Fairfield Municipal Court Judge Joyce Campbell, and Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones maintained policies leading to the violation of their Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights during their detention in Butler County Jail. 

On March 6, 2025, parties submitted a joint motion for preliminary approval of settlement agreement. The settlement agreement stated that defendants implemented updated policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the 48-hour rule in Fairfield. Additionally, the agreement stated that defendants agreed to pay class members $1,215,000 to resolve their claims as well as attorney's fees. The court granted a joint motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement on December 12, 2025, and is awaiting final approval in June 2026.

The case is currently assigned to Judge Douglas R. Cole.

OPINION AND ORDER adopting 55 Second Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, the Court DENIES the Defendants' Motions to Dismiss (Docs. 9, 12, & 50); the Defendants' Motions for Judgment on the Pleadings (Docs. 16, 51, & 53); the Defendants' Objections to the First R&R (Docs. 32, 34, & 35); and Plaintiff's Motion to Strike (Doc. 19). The City of Fairfield, however, is not responsible for actions taken by the Fairfield Municipal Court and thus cannot be found liable on that basis.

Finally, Defendants Campbell and Jones' Motions (Docs. 50 & 51), as pertaining to qualified immunity, sovereign immunity, judicial immunity, and the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, are DENIED, but WITHOUT PREJUDICE to the Defendants' ability to re-raise the immunity issues on a more fully developed factual record. Signed by Judge Douglas R. Cole on 5/28/21. (sct) (Entered: 05/28/2021)
