Second court rules governor is proper defendant in certain lawsuits

A class action lawsuit filed against Gov. Jared Polis by inmates last year can go forward, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled Thursday. In the lawsuit filed in Denver District Court in May 2020, five current or former inmates of the Colorado Department of Corrections filed suit against the governor as the chief executive of the state alleging that the state failed to protect medically vulnerable prisoners from the threat of the coronavirus. Over the course of the pandemic, numerous inmates at several correctional facilities have contracted the virus, some even dying. A Denver district judge, however, tossed out the lawsuit on grounds that the governor was not a proper defendant and that the separations of power doctrine in the Colorado Constitution doesn’t give the courts jurisdiction to hear such a case.
