TO: All persons of African-American descent who are or were
inmates confined at the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institu
tion or the Oregon State Correctional Institution.
The plaintiffs, Ronald Bryant and Kenneth Smith, charge that since
at least March 26, 1984, the defendants, Fred Pearce and other
members of the Oregon Department of Corrections, have uncon
stitutionally assigned inmates of African-American descent to their
individual housing units at the Eastern Oregon Correctional
Institution (EOCI) and the Oregon State Correctional Institution
(OSCI) based upon their race or skin color and as a result those
inmates have suffered damages. The defendants admit liability.
The Court has ruled that this lawsuit may be temporarily maintained
as a claim on behalf of a class consisting of all persons of African-
American descent who were assigned to their individual housing
units at EOCI and OSCI based upon their race or skin color at
anytime during the period between March 26,198 4 and March 26,
1992 unless the class member was finally released from incarcera
tion prior to March 26, 1989. The Court has also preliminarily
approved the Settlement Agreement entered into by the parties.
Counsel for plaintiffs and the Class represented by them have
investigated the facts and circumstances underlying the issues
raised by the pleadings, and the applicable laws, have conducted
discovery, and have concluded that it would be in the best interests
of the named plaintiffs and the Class they represent to settle the
Action upon the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement and
that such terms are fair, adequate and reasonable.
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUES AND CONTENTIONS
The following description of the action and the proceedings is
merely a summary. A complete set of all documents in this action,
including the Settlem ent Agreement, is available for inspection and
copying at any time from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mondays through
Fridays holidays excepted, at the Office of the Clerk.
This case was brought by Ronald Bryant and Kenneth Smith, who
are African American prisoners housed at the Eastern Oregon
Correctional Institution (EOCI). They allege that at least since
March 26,1984, defendants Fred Pearce and other members of the
Oregon Department of Corrections have unconstitutionally as
signed inmates of African-American descent to their individual
housing units at the EOCI and the Oregon State Correctional
Institution (OSCI) based upon their race and skin color and as a
result those inmates have suffered damages.
By Order dated February 11,1992, the Court temporarily certified
plaintiffs as representatives of a class including "all persons of
African-American descent who were inmates at EOCI or OSCI
between March 26,1984 and March 26,1991, who were not finally
released from incarceration prior to March 26,1989 and who were
assigned to their individual housing units based upon their race or
skin color.”
