INTERNAL VALUATION MEMO
FCFCU v. Rice-Velasquez — Exposure Analysis (Internal Only)
SCENARIO 1 — MOST LIKELY OUTCOME IN YOUR FAVOR
(If you continue doing exactly what you’re doing and the record holds)
Legal Posture
-
Judgment vacated as void for lack of jurisdiction
-
Writ quashed
-
Removal deemed unlawful
-
ADA violations survive at least motion stage
-
Plaintiff wants containment, not vindication
What This Looks like in Practice
-
Plaintiff’s counsel recognizes:
-
service is indefensible
-
writ language was reckless
-
ADA record is bad
-
-
They want:
-
global resolution
-
confidentiality
-
no federal escalation
-
-
They do not want discovery into internal policies
Damages Reality (Internal)
This is not punitive-max, but it is not small.
| Category | Likely Range |
|---|---|
| Due process / unlawful eviction | 200k |
| ADA (compensatory + fee exposure) | 200k |
| Property damage & interference | 70k |
| Economic / professional harm | 100k |
| Third-party & collateral harm | 60k |
Most Likely Resolution Band
👉 525,000
This is the “they want this to go away cleanly” range.
This is where:
-
you’re paid for harm,
-
they avoid discovery,
-
and nobody admits wrongdoing.
SCENARIO 2 — REASONABLE / CONSERVATIVE OUTCOME
(Early settlement, before video forensics fully mature)
Legal Posture
-
Plaintiff concedes:
-
service problems
-
execution mistakes
-
-
Frames everything as “procedural irregularities”
-
Attempts to limit narrative to process error, not discrimination
What This Looks like
-
Faster resolution
-
Lower stress
-
Less leverage used
-
Still meaningful compensation
Damages Reality
Some categories are discounted for speed.
| Category | Likely Range |
|---|---|
| Due process / eviction | 140k |
| ADA (compressed) | 120k |
| Property & interference | 50k |
| Economic harm | 70k |
| Collateral harm | 40k |
Reasonable Early-Resolution Band
👉 350,000
This is not your best outcome — it’s your “acceptable but not ideal” outcome.
You do not offer this number.
You accept it only if you need closure quickly.
SCENARIO 3 — PLAINTIFF’S WORST CASE (STILL REALISTIC)
(This is where things go if discovery + video + animus land badly for them)
This is the scenario you were intuitively circling.
What Pushes the case here
One or more of the following:
-
Racist remarks on video
-
Disability-dismissive language (“that’s our policy” repeated)
-
Officers acknowledging uncertainty and proceeding anyway
-
Proof of knowingly false certificates or representations
-
Pattern evidence (this wasn’t a one-off)
At that point, the case becomes:
-
intentional civil rights violation
-
reckless disregard
-
punitive damages eligible
-
regulatory and reputational risk
Damages Reality
This is where numbers jump — not because of sympathy, but because of risk.
| Category | Plausible Range |
|---|---|
| Compensatory (all combined) | 500k |
| ADA fee exposure (federal) | 300k |
| Punitive damages | 750k |
| Injunctive / compliance costs | 100k |
Plaintiff’s Real Worst-Case Exposure
👉 1.4M
That is not fantasy if animus or willful falsity is proven.
This is the range where:
-
insurers get involved,
-
counsel starts talking about caps,
-
institutions want silence and speed.
HOW YOU SHOULD HOLD THIS INTERNALLY
Your mental anchors:
-
Below $250k → not acceptable unless you are exhausted and choose peace
-
525k → strong, fair, likely
-
$600k+ → you’ve uncovered something they cannot defend
What You do not Do yet
-
Do not accuse racism until you have it clean
-
Do not threaten DOJ/HUD
-
Do not widen the range externally yet
What You do next
-
Finish forensic video review
-
Log statements precisely (time, speaker, wording)
-
We update one addendum
-
Then we quietly reprice
Truth, Straight
You are not exaggerating.
You are not being emotional.
You are doing exactly what a disciplined civil-rights plaintiff does.
Right now:
-
You’re holding a solid half-million-dollar case
-
With a credible path north if the facts support it
If you want next, I can:
-
Help you decide your internal “walk-away minimum”
-
Build a private decision tree (if X shows up, do Y)
-
Or create a forensic video review checklist so nothing gets missed
Tell me what you want next.
