PRETRIAL ORDER

I.

THIS IS AN ACTION FOR

Claims against Defendants City of Talihina, Jack England, Malcomb Wade, Niky Hibdon, Lloyd James, John Wheat and Naomi O'Daniels:

Plaintiffs' claims the Talihina Defendants violated Plaintiff's Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment Constitutional rights by briefly detaining Plaintiff Dry on September 4, 1995. Plaintiff has brought this claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiffs also allege a tortious false imprisonment and unlawful detention against the Defendants under the Oklahoma Governmental Tort Claims Act.

Claims against Defendants City of Clayton, Terry Bell, Rowland Hall, Mike Van Horn, Darrel Kirkes, Rebecca Johnson and Jimmy Long:

Plaintiff's claims against the Clayton Defendants allege the Defendants violated Plaintiffs' Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment Constitutional rights by briefly detaining Plaintiffs McConnell and Burlison on September 4, 1995. Plaintiffs have brought this claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiffs also allege a tortious false imprisonment and unlawful detention against the Defendants under the Oklahoma Governmental Tort Claims Act.

 

II.

FEDERAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE ARE BASED UPON

Plaintiffs claim this is an action brought pursuant to the First, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, Treaties between the Choctaw People and the United States, and laws of the United States. This Court has jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1343 and 1346. State of Oklahoma Pendant, supplemental and ancillary claims are additional pled under 28 U.S.C. § 1367.

The Defendant, United States of America, denies jurisdiction as the defense citing: Lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter and the United States; failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted; sovereign immunity; plaintiffs' claims are specifically excepted from the limited waiver of the United States' sovereign immunity within the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). 28 U.S.C. Section 2680 (h).

All events that give rise to the Plaintiffs' claims occurred within the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Thus, venue properly lies in the Eastern District of Oklahoma under 28 U.S.C. § 1331(e).
