Date Filed Document Text
August 13, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER: For the reasons set forth in the attached, the Court dismisses all claims against all Defendants. However, the Court grants Plaintiff leave to submit an amended complaint within thirty (30) days of this Order alleging a Fourth Amendment claim for unreasonable seizure of his vehicle. So long as Plaintiff has a legitimate basis for doing so, the Court recommends that Plaintiff (1) only name Gary H. Rose and the City of New York as Defendants; (2) allege facts demonstrating that Gary H. Rose confiscated and/or vandalized Plaintiff's vehicle pursuant to a municipal policy; (3) refrain from arguing that the New York City Police Department had an affirmative obligation arising under the Constitution to investigate the theft of Plaintiff's vehicle; and (4) allege more facts to substantiate his claim of unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment, which requires Plaintiff to demonstrate that Defendant Gary H. Rose was "personally involved in authorizing the unconstitutional seizure of [P]laintiffs car," Rackley v. City of New York, 186 F. Supp. 2d 466, 469 (S.D.N.Y. 2002). The Court advises Plaintiff that the amended complaint will replace the original complaint, must be captioned "Amended Complaint," and shall bear the same docket number as this Order. Plaintiff is warned that failure to comply with the deadline will result in this action being dismissed. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal of this Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for purposes of an appeal. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Ordered by Judge Pamela K. Chen on 8/13/2019. (Nadig, Alok)
