August 26, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 59 MEMORANDUM and ORDER: The motions 49 & 52 to dismiss are granted in part and denied in part.

June 20, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 41 MEMORANDUM and ORDER: The Court concludes that the most sensible approach in the circumstances is to deny the motions for reconsideration 31 & 32 , grant the motion for leave to amend, and schedule, if need be, a pre-motion conference to discuss w hether the defendants wish to present their arguments in a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Therefore, the plaintiffs shall, within 30 days of this memorandum and order, file and serve an amended complaint alleging whatever state-law claims t hey assert were hampered by the detectives wrongdoing; they should not reallege the federal claims, which have been dismissed. If the defendants are not satisfied with the amended complaint, they may, within 20 days, submit a letter requesting a pre -motion conference and identifying any grounds for a motion to dismiss; the plaintiff may submit a letter in response. Both parties must comply with the Courts individual rules regarding pre-motion conferences and, in particular, must discuss settlement prior to the conference. Ordered by Judge Frederic Block on 6/20/2019. (Innelli, Michael)
June 26, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 25 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: The motion for summary judgment is granted and the plaintiffs access-to-courts claim is dismissed. However, the complaint is deemed amended to directly allege the state-law causes of action underlying the access-to-courts claim. The Court will exercise supplemental jurisdiction over those claims. See attached Memorandum and Order for details. Ordered by Judge Frederic Block on 6/26/2018. (Innelli, Michael)
