Filing 8
ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiff has filed a lengthy complaint that names the "Waterbury City Police" as a defendant and "et al." but without naming as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a) any other defendant in the caption of the complaint. Doc. #1. The complaint contains a very lengthy recitation of facts about plaintiff's alleged mistreatment by various officials relating to plaintiff's hospitalization at Waterbury Hospital and Connecticut Valley Hospital. The complaint does not otherwise contain allegations that give rise to plausible grounds for relief against the Waterbury police department. Moreover, the Waterbury police department is not an entity subject to suit. See, e.g, Atkinson v. Norwalk Police Dep't, 2019 WL 108877, at *1 (D. Conn. 2019). Accordingly, the Court dismisses the complaint without prejudice to re- filing of an amended complaint that lists by name in its caption each of the defendants whom plaintiff wants to sue and that sets forth a plain and simple statement of factual allegations as to each named defendant that would give rise to plausible grounds for relief. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 02/28/19. (Barry, Donna)
