Johnson, 256 F.3d 895, 915, 914-16 (9th Cir.2001) (en banc) (Kozinski, J., concurring) (narrowly defining dicta as a statement [that] is made casually and without analysis, uttered in passing without due consideration of the alternatives, or merely a prelude to another legal issue that commands the court's full attention), we adopt this interpretation of Robinson and the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause as persuasive authority. This led to a search that uncovered drugs, and to a motion to suppress that challenged the constitutionality of a federal statute making it a criminal offense for documented aliens to fail to carry documents.

Steve Lopez, A Corner Where L.A. 2-3 (White, J., dissenting) (discussing jury instructions regarding addiction and substantial evidence of Robinson's frequent narcotics use in the days prior to his arrest); and second, and most importantly, for understanding his opinion in Powell, because the record did not suggest that Robinson's drug addiction was involuntary, see id. at 664, 97 S.Ct.

Nor, until now, has the Supreme Court or any other circuit court of appeals intimated (let alone held) that status plus a condition which exists on account of discretionary action by someone else is the kind of involuntary condition that cannot be criminalized. Homeless Servs. But the Clause's third protection limits the state's ability to criminalize certain behaviors or conditions, not merely its ability to convict and then punish post conviction. United States v. City of Tacoma, 332 F.3d 574, 578 (9th Cir.2003). Jones was part of a class-action lawsuit against LADWP, after it was revealed a faulty billing system sent thousands of customers inaccurate bills in 2013.

A closer analysis of Robinson and Powell instructs that the involuntariness of the act or condition the City criminalizes is the critical factor delineating a constitutionally cognizable status, and incidental conduct which is integral to and an unavoidable result of that status, from acts or conditions that can be criminalized consistent with the Eighth Amendment. 2. at 535-36, 88 S.Ct. 2145. 2145 (Marshall, J., plurality)). Auth., supra, at 2-14.

Id. & Regional Res. Notwithstanding this well-established Supreme Court authority, the City urges us to follow the Fifth Circuit, which has based its rejection of an Eighth Amendment challenge by homeless persons on the absence of a conviction. If the state transgresses this limit, a person suffers constitutionally cognizable harm as soon as he is subjected to the criminal process. Kidder also argued that even if he were being punished for his acts rather than his status, the involuntary nature of the acts rendered them immune from criminal punishment. We must decide whether the Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment prohibits enforcement of that law as applied to homeless individuals involuntarily sitting, lying, or sleeping on the street due to the unavailability of shelter in Los Angeles. In Jones v. City of Los Angeles, 20 Cal.App.4th 436, 442, 24 Cal.Rptr.2d 528 (Cal. Box 43449 Providence, RI 02940-3449 JCLA1 *JCLA1FIRST* I.

They were cited on one of these occasions, but not arrested or convicted, for violating LAMC 41.18(d). 2006). Jones argues that he and other homeless people are not willing or able to pursue such a defense because the costs of pleading guilty are so low and the risks and challenges of pleading innocent are substantial. See Johnson, 256 F.3d at 915 (Where it is clear that a statement is uttered in passing without due consideration of the alternatives, it may be appropriate to re-visit the issue in a later case.). Ingraham rests on the distinction between state action inside and outside the criminal process, id. Barger was jailed, convicted of violating section 41.18(d), and sentenced to two days time served.

See id. Although the Supreme Court recognized in Robinson v. California, 370 U.S. 660, 82 S.Ct. Homeless individuals, who may suffer from mental illness, substance abuse problems, unemployment, and poverty, are unlikely to have the knowledge or resources to assert a necessity defense to a section 41.18(d) charge, much less to have access to counsel when they are arrested and arraigned.

His hook apparently contacted the wires and the resulting electric shock dislodged him from the ladder. In the County as a whole, there are almost 50,000 more homeless people than available beds. Appellants are entitled at a minimum to a narrowly tailored injunction against the City's enforcement of section 41.18(d) at certain times and/or places. 1401; and the State does not acquire the power to punish with which the Eighth Amendment is concerned until after it has secured a formal adjudication of guilt in accordance with due process of law, id. Rather, [t]he entire thrust of Robinson's interpretation of the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause is that criminal penalties may be inflicted only if the accused has committed some act, has engaged in some behavior, which society has an interest in preventing, or perhaps in historical common law terms, has committed some actus reus. Reasoning that plaintiffs' requested injunction was too broad and too difficult to enforce, and noting the preliminary nature of its findings based on the record at an early stage in the proceedings, the district court denied the injunction. Los at 662-63, 82 S.Ct. See, e.g., Powell v. Texas, 392 U.S. 514, 531-33, 88 S.Ct. In contrast to Leroy Powell, Appellants have made a substantial showing that they are unable to stay off the streets on the night[s] in question. Powell, 392 U.S. at 554, 88 S.Ct. Powell, 392 U.S. at 567, 88 S.Ct. Chief Of Operations 7258. a showing could be made that resisting drunkenness is impossible and that avoiding public places when intoxicated is also impossible. Despite this, the majority here reasons that unlike Powell, Purrie and Barger made a substantial showing that they are unable to stay off the streets on the night[s] in question, because [a]ll human beings must sit, lie, and sleep, and hence must do these things somewhere. at 64. The City belatedly objects to the dispositions attached to the Barger and Purrie declarations on foundational grounds. An injunction should be no more burdensome to the defendant than [is] necessary to provide complete relief to the plaintiffs. Califano v. Yamasaki, 442 U.S. 682, 702, 99 S.Ct. Sovereign immunity from civil liability for torts committed by a public entity is involved in this appeal. Finally, the Court commented on the purpose of the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause, and on Robinson, in Ingraham v. Wright, 430 U.S. 651, 97 S.Ct. Ingraham addressed a claim that the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause bars the use of disciplinary corporal punishment in public schools. However, there is no showing in this case that shelter was unavailable on the night that any of the six was apprehended. We also review de novo the district court's decision to grant or deny summary judgment. 829 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW EIGHTH AMENDMENT NINTH CIRCUIT HOLDS THAT "INVOLUNTARY" CONDUCT CANNOT BE PUNISHED. Jones v.City of Los Angeles, 444 F.3d 1118 (9th Cir. Neither the Supreme Court nor any other circuit court of appeals has ever held that conduct derivative of a status may not be criminalized. Not only has Jones produced no evidence of present or past Eighth Amendment violations, he has failed to show any likelihood of future violations.5 Since 1998, California has recognized a necessity-due-to-homelessness defense to ordinances such as LAMC 41.18(d).

Benink KRAUSE KALFAYAN BENINK & SLAVENS LLP However, the Eighth Amendment does not afford due process protection when a Fourteenth Amendment claim proves unavailing. 2145 (Marshall, J., plurality)); see also United States v. Parga-Rosas, 238 F.3d 1209, 1212 (9th Cir.2001) (noting that the point of Powell and Ayala is that criminal penalties can be imposed only if the accused has committed some actus reus). 1326 impermissibly punished him for the status of being found in the United States. For the approximately 11,000-12,000 homeless individuals in Skid Row, space is available in SRO hotels, shelters, and other temporary or transitional housing for only 9000 to 10,000, leaving more than 1000 people unable to find shelter each night. Chief William Bratton and Captain Charles Beck (in their official capacities), barring them from enforcing section 41.18(d) in Skid Row between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. Appellants allege that by enforcing section 41.18(d) twenty-four hours a day against persons with nowhere else to sit, lie, or sleep, other than on public streets and sidewalks, the City is criminalizing the status of homelessness in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and Article I, sections 7 and 17 of the California Constitution, see Cal. An examination of the history of the Amendment and the decisions of this Court construing the proscription against cruel and unusual punishment confirms that it was designed to protect those convicted of crimes. Id. at 568, 88 S.Ct. For decades Skid Row has been home for the down and out, the drifters, the unemployed, and the chronic alcoholic[s] of Los Angeles. This argument also lacks merit. Of the last, or Robinson, limitation, the Court stated: We have recognized the last limitation as one to be applied sparingly. Id. His average. 2145 (Fortas, J., dissenting) (emphasis added). 2145.

BC570773, pursuant to Section 54956.9(d)(l) of the California Government Code. at 1136. Other cities' ordinances similarly directed at the homeless provide ways to avoid criminalizing the status of homelessness by making an element of the crime some conduct in combination with sitting, lying, or sleeping in a state of homelessness. We cannot but consider the statute before us as of the same category. 1417 & nn. at 567, 88 S.Ct. According to Justice White, if [Robinson] was convicted for being an addict who had lost his power of self-control, I would have other thoughts about this case. Id. See Robinson, 370 U.S. at 665-67, 82 S.Ct. . The skid row area of Los Angeles contains the largest number of homeless persons in the United States.

Early in the morning of December 5, 2002, Purrie declares that he was sleeping on the sidewalk at Sixth Street and Towne Avenue because he had nowhere else to sleep. At 5:20 a.m., L.A.P.D. The court held that arresting homeless individuals for harmless, involuntary conduct is cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of their due process rights. 2145. Because shelters separate men and women, and Janet's disabilities require Edward to care for her, the Joneses are forced to sleep on the streets every month after their General Relief monies run out. It is not open to us to back off the rule, or to accept, as the majority here does instead, the view of the dissent in Ingraham that the Court's rationale was based upon the distinction between criminal and noncriminal punishment. Maj. op. 843 (N.D.Cal.1994), the district court held that enforcement of the ordinance does not violate the Eighth Amendment because it penalizes conduct, not status. at 2; see also Grace R. Dyrness et al., Crisis on the Streets: Homeless Women and Children in Los Angeles 14 (2003) (noting that approximately 14% of homeless individuals in Los Angeles are victims of domestic violence). 2145 (Fortas, J., dissenting). As Justice White's concurrence in Powell explains: I do not question the power of the State to remove a helplessly intoxicated person from a public street, although against his will, and to hold him until he has regained his powers. The dissenters themselves undermine their proposed distinction by suggesting that criminalizing involuntary acts that typically flow from the disease of chronic alcoholism would violate the Eighth Amendment, as well as by stating that [i]f an alcoholic should be convicted for criminal conduct which is not a characteristic and involuntary part of the pattern of the disease as it afflicts him, nothing herein would prevent his punishment. Id. The trial court found that Powell suffered from the disease of chronic alcoholism, which destroys the afflicted person's will to resist drinking and leads him to appear drunk in public involuntarily. There is no record of conviction, or any evidence that Purrie was turned away from a shelter the night he was cited.

We concluded that because the statute under which he was convicted punishes a person for the act of possessing illegal drugs with intent to distribute, it does not run afoul of Robinson.
