$10,000 Paid for Failure to Perform Washington Prisoner's Surgery
Washington Prisoner Austin Mora-Gonzales sued officials of the
Washington Department of Corrections for failing to perform their duty to
provide him with surgery or ameliorate the pre-existing spinal condition
he had. On October 10, 2002, the WDOC settled the suit for $10,000,
agreeing those proceeds were exempt from the state's 35% mandatory
deduction provision. Mora-Gonzales was represented by James P. Connelly
and Mark E. Wilson of University Legal Assistance. See: Mora-Gonzales v.
Miller-Stout, USDC Eastern District Washington, Case NO. CS-00-00168-JLG.
