Defendant's Attorney: Pamela AK. graham
Description:
San Francisco, California constitutional law lawyer represented the Plaintiff who challenged the constitutionality of county ordinance.
Putative class action arises out of Humboldt County's system of administrative penalties and fees
involving cannabis abatement. Plaintiffs—residents of Humboldt County—filed this action under 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983, alleging a number of constitutional claims against the County. The district court dismissed all claims in their
entirety on various grounds. We focus only on one of Plaintiffs' claims: that the County's system of administrative
penalties and fees violates the Eighth Amendment's Excessive Fines Clause.1 The district court dismissed that
claim because it concluded that the claim was not justiciable and that it was untimely.
