INTRODUCTION The procedural history surrounding Beach’s case is epochal, involving proceedings in the Montana Supreme Court, federal district court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Montana Board of Pardons and Parole (the Board). Many of the postconviction claims he now raises in this Court were previously raised in one form or the other in the Montana Supreme Court, Federal Courts, and most recently before the Board during his clemency proceeding. As demonstrated below, the Montana Supreme Court, the Federal Courts and the Board have unifiedly rejected Beach’s claims, including his claim that he is actually innocent of the Nees homicide. As the procedural MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO DISMISS BARRY ALLEN BEACH’S PETITION FOR POSTCONVICTION RELIEF PAGE 1 history below reflects, Beach has been afforded every avenue to prove he should not be held accountable for the brutal murder of Kim Nees, and Beach has soundly failed at every juncture.

We commend the Judiciary for its willingness to work with us to address the fiscal challenges that we have faced over the years. As you know we again face a serious fiscal challenge in the upcoming FY 2016 budget. With the revenue downgrade we are facing a total shortfall for FY 2016 of $112 million in the General Fund. This represents an 8% shortfall from the resources needed to fund current services. The Governor's fiscal year 2016 budget includes a savings target of $500,000 for Judicial operations. The budget also envisioned potential reductions in FY 2016 pay act funding and other personnel savings which could create additional pressures on the Judiciary budget and the criminal justice system generally. The Governor further proposed language in the Budget Adjustment bill for a plan to produce such savings to be submitted by prior to March 31, 2015. As was the case in the House, we have chosen not to include any specific language in the Budget Adjustment bill regarding FY 2016 reduction.

  • SJI Newsletter May 2019 | Volume 29, No
    SJI Newsletter May 2019 | Volume 29, No. 8 Civil Justice Initiative Pilot Project Releases Miami-Dade Evaluation In November 2016, the Circuit Civil Division of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida implemented the Civil Justice Initiative Pilot Project (CJIPP) to test the impact of Civil Case Management Teams (CCMTs) on civil case processing. CCMTs were envisioned as an essential component of civil justice reform in the report and recommendations of the CCJ Civil Justice Improvements Committee. With SJI support, the CJIPP created four CCMTs, each consisting of a judge, a case manager, a judicial assistant, and a bailiff. The CCMTs developed a standardized case management process to streamline administrative tasks, triage cases into appropriate case management pathways, and monitor case progress. The remaining 21 judges in the Circuit Civil Division continued to manage civil caseloads under traditional case processing practices and staffing assignments, providing a baseline for comparison. To assess the impact of CJIPP, the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) conducted an outcome evaluation that compared the outcomes of cases assigned to the CJIPP teams with those assigned to the non- CJIPP judges (baseline). The NCSC found that CJIPP cases closed at a significantly higher rate, and approximately five months earlier on average than baseline cases. Shortly after the initial launch of the pilot program, the CJIPP cases experienced a temporary increase in the number of court hearings and case management conferences as lawyers in the CJIPP cases requested modifications to case management orders, including continuances or extensions of time to complete litigation tasks; however, the frequency of these case events returned to normal levels within three months.
