Plaintiff Traian Bujduveanu, a former Federal Inmate, has filed a Complaint against
Residential Reentry Center (RRC)/Half Way House, Dismas, and three of its employees, Gispert,
Thomas and Lashanda alleging various common law torts and alleged constitutional rights
violations regarding his return from the halfway house to a Federal Detention Center to complete
the last few weeks of his sentence. The Amended Complaint alleges federal theories of recovery
(Violations of the First, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments), and three alleged state law theories
of recovery (Abuse of Process, Negligence and Malicious Prosecution)—all arising from his
violation of a Bureau of Prison’s condition to not drive an automobile or posses a cell phone,
which caused him to be transferred from Dismas back to a Federal Prison to complete the
remaining 81 days of his Federal Prison sentence. Plaintiff contends the Defendants violated his
rights and caused him damages.
The Defendants contend that on or about September 28, 2010, Plaintiff was transferred
from Dismas to home detention. Plaintiff remained on home detention until October 15, 2010, at
which time he was properly returned to the Dania facility for violating a condition of his home
detention. On October 13, 2010, Plaintiff was discovered driving an automobile without proper
authorization. The vehicle was located at the Dania facility and was subsequently searched after
Plaintiff was observed by staff and then admitted that he had been operating the vehicle without
authorization. A mobile/cellular telephone was found inside the vehicle, which Plaintiff
acknowledged. A Disciplinary Report by Dismas staff was then prepared and signed by the
Plaintiff on October 15, 2010. The Bureau of Prisons that Plaintiff terminated the Plaintiff from
the residential re-entry center duel noncompliance with program rules and regulations. Plaintiff
