McIntyre v. City of Rochester
McIntyre v. City of Rochester
Opinion of the Court
DECISION AND ORDER
Plaintiff Jessie McIntyre brought this action pro se in June 2016, asserting claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the City of Rochester (“City”) and two “John Doe” defendants. After the City moved to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Dkt. # 5), plaintiff, through newly-retained counsel, filed an amended complaint (Dkt. # 8). The City has not moved against or otherwise responded to the amended complaint.
The City’s motion to dismiss is based on its arguments that the original complaint did not identify any policy or custom that could give rise to municipal liability, and that plaintiff had not alleged any facts in support of his “negligent training” claim. See Dkt. # 5-1 at 2-3.
At least on its face, the amended complaint appears to address those alleged defects. It sets forth factual allegations regarding the City’s policies and customs, and the City’s allegedly inadequate training of the police officers involved in the events giving rise to plaintiffs claims. See Dkt. #8 ¶¶ 4, 19-25.
CONCLUSION
Defendant’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. # 5) is denied as moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
. The amended complaint also asserts claims against three named individuals.
