Townsend v. State of California CA5
Plaintiff, an inmate who was released from prison two days late, filed this lawsuit to recover damages for false imprisonment. His pleading included class action allegations for other inmates who had their release dates miscalculated. Defendant California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the other defendants filed a series of three motions to strike the class action allegations from plaintiff’s original and subsequent amended complaints. The trial court granted all three motions, the last one without leave to amend. Plaintiff appealed.
