MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Signed by the Honorable Robert M. Dow, Jr on 9/28/2021. Before this Court is a lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 involving the use of force by an officer of the Chicago Fire Department on a subordinate. Plaintiff Jo hn Copeland brought this action against Defendant Lieutenant Johnson for violation of his rights under federal and state law. In addition to Lt. Johnson, Plaintiff also named his employer, the City of Chicago, as a defendant to this suit seeking to impose liability on the City under Monell v. Department of Social Services of City of New York, 436 U.S. 658 (1978), the theory of respondeat superior, and for indemnification of Lt. Johnson's claims under Illinois state law, see 745 ILCS § 10/9102. This Court previously dismissed the Monell and respondeat superior claims against the City. In the instant motion, the City seeks dismissal of the sole remaining thread tying it to this lawsuit, the § 10/9102 indemnification claim, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). For the reasons stated below, the Court grants Defendant City of Chicago's motion to dismiss Count IV 133 from the Second Amended Complaint 127 and dismisses the City of Chicago from this suit.
