Diane Kozak, an employee at Twin Rivers Correctional Facility in Monroe,
Washington, filed suit in Snohomish County Superior Court alleging that

filed in 1994. On December 7, 1995, the suit was settled for $48,500 and
cost of depositions not to exceed $1,000. Kozak was represented by Russ
Juckett of Everett. See: Kozak v. State of Washington, Snohomish County
