This case is now before the United States Supreme Court,
styled Daniel Montes, Jr. vs. Jeffrey P. Ransom, Demarcus
F. Black, Willie Faye Washington, David Bonner, as case
#07-10. The Supreme Court ordered response briefs to be
filed by each and every defendant by October 29th, 2007.
Apparently, something in my petition made sense to them.
Opposing counsel called me and congratulated me that the
Court accepted my case. I told him that we are not done,
yet. I have found counsel that is wishing to take my case
now, but I told counsel that I can handle it on the
briefing and oral argument. I will retain counsel upon
remand for the jury trial back in Dallas. This case is
about First amendment retaliation, excessive force, denial
of medical care, conspiracy to violate civil rights, etc.
We have video tape, color photos, eyewitnesses, actual
physical injuries, etc. The individual defendants, federal
trial court and 5th Circuit court of appeals, decided that
I failed to prove my excessive force case of overtight
handcuffs over 4 hours with notice given, because I failed
to prove that I suffered a more than deminimus physical
injury. Hello. Several other federal circuits have
established that overtight handcuffs with notice is
clearly actionable regardless of injury, but in the 5th
Circuit you must suffer a more than deminimus injury
before you have a cause of action. It is most apparent
that the 5th Circuit IGNORES Supreme Court precedence in
Hope v. Pelzer and Graham v. Conner. Anyway since when is
$1400 dollars of emergency medical care describe a
deminimus injury? That is my position. This case is going
to be remanded for jury trial on the merits. Also, this
case is about the lack of medical care in the Dallas
County jail. The jail has untrained staff making medical
judgments, fails to give your prescribed medicine to you,
turn off your water to your cell until you are dead, uses
excessive force on pretrial detainees with overtight
handcuffs and restraining chairs until they are injured,
etc. The Mims case was settled, but nothing changed at the
jail. I, on behalf of the public demand a change in jail
policy to come into conformance with the constitutional
rights of pretrial detainees. Don't bother calling the
Dallas Chief of Police Kunkle, Dallas County Sheriff
Valdez, Dallas County Judge Margaret Keihler, Dallas
County District Attorney Craig Watkins or Dolena T.
Westergard, City of Dallas Attorney James Pinson or Jason
Schuette, US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas,
or any of the defendants because they won't answer one
question that you may ask them about this case. I on the
other hand have nothing to hide and if you have any
questions to email or give me a call anytime. Thank you,
Daniel Montes, Jr., plaintiff pro se,
