Santopietro v. Howell

Opinion

Kelly H. Dove, Esq. Nevada Bar No. 10569 SNELL & WILMER L.L.P. 3883 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 1100 Las Vegas, Nevada 89169 Telephone (702) 784-5200 Facsimile (702) 784-5252 Email: kdove@swlaw.com Attorneys for Plaintiff Michele Santopietro, an Individual, CASE NO. 2:12-cv-01648-JCM-EJY Plaintiff, JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER v. Las Vegas Police Department Officers C. Howell (Badge 9634), F. Lopez-Rosende (Badge 8864), and K. Crawford (Badge 10050), Defendants. After pretrial proceedings in this case, IT IS ORDERED: I. This case arises out of the arrest of Plaintiff Michele Santopietro (“Santopietro”) and Lea Patrick (“Patrick”) in May 2011 by Defendants Clayborn Howell, Christine Crawford, and Francisco Lopez-Rosende (collectively, the “Officers”) for doing business without a license. (ECF No. 55 at 1.) Specifically, Santopietro and Patrick were in costume on the Las Vegas Strip as police characters. Like other street performers there, they were working for tips, typically given by passersby who approached them and asked to be photographed with them. The Officers were running a plainclothes operation in which they approached street performers, among others, to evaluate their conduct. In this case, Howell agreed up front to tip, indicating before posing for a picture with the performers that he understood and agreed that the performers worked for tips. The Officers all agree that they were lying to the extent they promised a tip, and that lying this way is entirely proper since they are law officers. Howell got the picture he wanted and for which he agreed to pay, and walked off. After Patrick reminded Howell of his prior agreement to tip, the Officers arrested them both for doing business without a license. Santopietro sued the Officers under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 asserting that the arrest violated the First Amendment and other rights under the United States and Nevada constitutions. (ECF No. 29.) Santopietro seeks damages for what she contends was a wrongful arrest and imprisonment, the violation of her constitutional rights, and her attorneys’ fees as provided for under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 42 U.S.C. § 1985, and any other applicable law. Plaintiff – Michele Santopietro Defendants -- Clayborn Howell, Christine Crawford, and Francisco Lopez-Rosende Plaintiff’s Contentions Plaintiff brought eleven causes of action: (1) Violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Free Speech); (2) Violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Free Speech); Violation of Nevada Constitution, Article 1, Section 9 (Free Speech); (4) Violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution (Unreasonable Search and Seizure); (5) Violation of Nevada Constitution, Article 1, Section 18 (Unreasonable Search and Seizure); (6) Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Substantive Due Process); (7) Violation of Nevada Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 (Substantive Due Process); (8) Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Procedural Due Process); (9) Violation of Nevada Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 (Procedural Due Process); (10) Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution under 42 U.S.C. § 1983; and (11) Violation of Nevada Constitution, Article 1, Section 1 (Equal Protection). Plaintiff abandoned her Sixth, Eighth and Tenth Causes of Action. Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (causes of action 1 and 2), a plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant (1) acted under color of state law; and (2) deprived plaintiff of a constitutional right. See Long v. Cnty. of Los Angeles, 442 F.3d 1178, 1185 (9th Cir. 2006). Police officers effecting an arrest as officers are “acting under the color of State law” for the purposes of Section 1983, even if the offending conduct was not authorized. See Cohen v. Norris, 300 F.2d 24, 30 (9th Cir. 1962). Thus, there is no dispute that the Officers here were acting under the color of state law. The Ninth Circuit’s decision has significantly narrowed the issues for trial. The Ninth Circuit held that if Santopietro did not demand deletion of the photo, her “undisputed statements and actions do not even arguably evidence a business transaction.” In other words, if the jury credits Santopietro’s version of events, she necessarily prevails on the merits. As the Ninth Circuit also held, even “[i]f Santopietro’s words or actions demonstrated that she was selling her performance, the sale would still likely warrant First Amendment protection.” But the “business” of selling protected expression can be “subject to reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions.” Determining whether Clark County Code § 6.56.030 as applied to a quid-pro-quo exchange of a photograph is a reasonable “time, place, or manner” restriction “requires an inquiry into whether the restriction: (1) is justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech; (2) is narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest; and (3) leaves open ample alternative channels for communication of the information.” If the jury determines that Santopietro sold her performance by demanding tips, the Court must determine whether the licensing ordinance as applied to sales by, rather than voluntary tips to, a street artist is a valid time, place, or manner restriction. Finally, Santopietro contends that she suffered damages as a result of her arrest and detention. Defendant’s Contentions Defendants contend that the Plaintiff was properly arrested for violating Clark County business without first having procured a license for the business. “Probable cause to arrest exists when officers have knowledge or reasonably trustworthy information sufficient to lead a person of reasonable caution to believe that an offense has been or is being committed by the person being arrested.” U.S. v. Lopez, 482 F.3d 1067, 1072 (9th Cir. 2007) (citing Beck v. Ohio, 379 U.S. 89, 91 (1964). Further, the Ninth Circuit has held that probable cause also exists “when ‘under the totality of circumstances known to the arresting officers, a prudent person would have concluded that there was a fair probability that [the defendant] had committed a crime.’” Id. (quoting U.S. v. Smith, 790 F.2d 789, 792 (9th Cir. 1986). Conclusive evidence of guilt is not required to establish probable cause, though “mere suspicion” is insufficient. Id. (citing McKenzie v. Lamb, 738 F.2d 1005, 1008 (9th Cir. 1984)). The Plaintiff bears the burden of establishing the absence of probable cause. Beck v. City of Upland, 527 F.3d 853, 864 (9th Cir. 2008). Defendants maintain probable cause was established to arrest Plaintiff and Patrick. Defendants maintain Plaintiff demanded that the photograph that was taken with Howell by Crawford be deleted after Howell refused to tip the women. Plaintiff admitted she was aware it was illegal to demand a tip for a picture and also admitted that Howell had started to walking away from the women when the demands for the tip were made. The Plaintiff was subject to the Code and, based upon the evidence presented, the officers had probable cause to arrest the Plaintiff and Patrick for violation of Clark County Code 6.56.030. The Defendants cannot be held liable for the arrest from a constitutional standpoint, as it has long been held that law enforcement officers can make an arrest for a misdemeanor crime. See Caroll v. U.S., 267 U.S. 132, 156 (1925). “If an officer has probable cause to believe that an individual has committed even a very minor offence in his presence, he may, without violating the Fourth Amendment, arrest the offender.” Atwater v. City of Lago Vista, 532 U.S. 318, 354 (2001) (petitioner arrested for failure to wear seatbelt and failure to ensure child passengers’ seatbelts were fastened). Because probable cause existed to arrest the Plaintiff and Patrick, the Defendants had a legal right to conduct a search of the women after their arrest (seizure). See U.S. v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218, 224 (1973). The Defendants contend that they did not violate the Plaintiff’s First Amendment rights as alleged. A municipality may issue reasonable regulations governing the time, place or manner of speech. Berger v. City of Seattle, 569 F.3d 1029, 1035-36 (9th Cir. 2001). To pass constitutional muster, a time, place, or manner restriction must meet three criteria: (1) it must be content neutral; (2) it must be “narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest”; and (3) it must “leave open ample alternative channels for communication of the information.” Id. at 1036. In order to establish a claim for a violation of a First Amendment right, a plaintiff must prove the defendant “deterred or chilled” the plaintiff’s speech and that “such deterrence was a substantial or motivating factor in [the defendant’s] conduct.” Menotti v. City of Seattle, 409 F.3d 1113, 1155 (9th Cir. 2005). The Supreme Court holds that even protected activities like solicitation “are subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions.” Village of Shaumburg v. Citizens for Better Environment, 444 U.S. 620, 632 (1980). Defendants contend that the Code was content neutral, served a significant governmental interest and was narrowly tailored to serve that interest(s). Further, alternative channels of expressing First Amendment-protected speech were available. II. Jurisdiction in this case is based on 28 U.S.C. §1331. Jurisdiction is not disputed. THE PARTIES AND REQUIRE NO PROOF 1. In 2009, other street performers sued Metro, some of its senior personnel, and other parties, seeking to prevent arrests of street performers in violation of the First Amendment. The parties in that case entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter called “the MOU”). 2. The MOU – to which Metro agreed as a signatory by the same counsel who defends the Officers in this case and represents Metro as a third party in this case – provides, in relevant part, that “the parties agree that”: 1. The sidewalks and pedestrian bridges along Las Vegas Boulevard (“the Strip”) constitute a traditional public forum for First Amendment purposes. See Venetian Casino Resort, L.L.C. v. Local Joint Executive Bd. of Las Vegas, 257 F.3d 937, 943 (9th Cir. 2001). 3. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has determined that street performing is expressive speech or expressive conduct protected under the First Amendment. See Berger v. City of Seattle et al., 569 F.3d 1029 (9th Cir. 2009). 4. Street performing, including the acceptance of unsolicited tips and the non-coercive solicitation of tips, is not a per se violation of any of the codes or statutes being challenged in this action. 6. The entirety of Chapter 6 of the Clark County Code, the business licensing codes, as written, is inapplicable to the act of street performing. 3. On May 28, 2011, the Officers were working as a three-person team patrolling the Strip together. 4. The Officers engaged a variety of street performers that day, generally asking to take a picture with the performers. 5. All three Officers were in plain clothes. 6. Santopietro and Patrick were both arrested and detained. 7. Plaintiff’s misdemeanor charge was dismissed by the court. IV. THE FOLLOWING FACTS, ALTHOUGH NOT ADMITTED, WILL NOT BE CONTESTED AT TRIAL BY EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY 1. On May 27, 2011, Santopietro traveled to Las Vegas to meet her friend, Lea Patrick, so that the two could perform as characters on the Las Vegas Strip. 2. The two traveled together to Las Vegas three times before May 27, 2011, and they had engaged in street performances during those trips. During their street performances together, Michele and Lea performed in police officer costumes. 3. Michele and Lea’s trip on the weekend of May 28, 2011 was the fourth time they acted as street performers together in Las Vegas, and, up until that trip, Santopietro had never encountered any problems with law enforcement in Las Vegas or Los Angeles. 4. On May 28, 2011, Ms. Santopietro had been on the Strip as her sexy cop character with Ms. Patrick for about forty minutes before the Officers approached them. 5. After the exchange about the photo and lack of a tip, one of the Officers handcuffed Patrick and subsequently, one of the Officers handcuffed Santopietro. V. TO BE DETERMINED AT TRIAL 1. Whether Santopietro (as opposed to Patrick) made the statement regarding the deletion of the photo, i.e., asking Crawford to delete the photograph if Howell did not like it, or demanding that she do so if the Officers refused to provide a tip. 2. If Santopietro did make the statement regarding the deletion of the photo, the factfinder must determine whether the nature of her statement and her actions demonstrated a quid-pro-quo offer for services. 3. The amount of damages, if any, resulting from the actions of the Officers. VI. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE ISSUES 1. If the jury finds that Santopietro did not make any statement regarding the deletion of the photo, no further legal analysis is necessary. 2. If the jury finds that Santopietro made the statement regarding the deletion of the photo and determines that the nature of her statement and her actions demonstrated a quid-pro- quo offer for services the Court must determine whether the licensing requirement under Clark County Code § 6.56.030 is a valid time, place, or manner restriction as applied to the facts as determined.
