The Plaintiffs, Otha Kenyua Johnson and Matthew Lewis, have filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the Florida Department of Corrections and the Warden of the South Florida Reception Center. Both of the Plaintiffs are currently being treated for their opioid-use disorder with the drug “buprenorphine.” According to the Plaintiffs, the Defendants will refuse to continue this treatment for non-medical reasons once the Plaintiffs are remanded into their custody, which the Plaintiffs claim is a violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The Defendant’s Answer is due November 8, 2023. If interested, please email FLSD_ProBono@flsd.uscourts.gov
