The Court denies Defendants' motion with respect to the following claims: (1) the claim of municipal liability under CONN. GEN.

The Court reserves decision as to summary judgment on all remaining claims against John Doe, following a properly-filed motion to amend the Complaint and any subsequent briefing.
