Michael Devin Floyd v. Deputy Gino Cofferati, et al.
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 24-6866 · judgment October 28, 2025
Question presented
I was arrested around 9:30 PM on August 18, 2021. I informed Defendant officers Deputy Daniel Dickson #11036 and Deputy Sheriff Detective Matthew Newton #2212 that I had not yet received a phone call at 3:30 PM on August 19, 2021.1 was finally allowed a phone call after 8:00 AM on August 20, 2021. Can the Defendant officers Dickson and Newton’s 16-18 hour procrastination of allowing me a phone call be not regarded as violating constitutional due process and California Penal Code 851.5, especially when Officer Cofferati issued previous threats of pretrial punishment?
