Date Filed Document Text
January 11, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 3 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER For the reasons stated above, the plaintiffs claims against the DOT are dismissed with prejudice. Although this Court would generally permit amendment of the Complaint to cure any defects before dismissing sua sponte a ca se for which the filing fee was paid, see Hughes v. Albany, 76 F.3d 53, 56 (2d Cir. 1996), there is no need to do so here because the plaintiff presents no claims against the DOT over which this Court has jurisdiction. The plaintiff's claims against the MTA are dismissed without prejudice to the filing of an Amended Complaint. (Signed by Judge John G. Koeltl on 1/7/2012) (cd)
