May 28, 2019 Filing 10 TEXT ORDER. Defendants have moved to dismiss counts one, three, and five of the Complaint, as well as to dismiss Defendants John and Jane Doe, the owners of the facility. See Dkt. No. 8-3. Plaintiff has indicated in her May 23, 2019 letter to the Court that she consents to the dismissal of those claims, and of John and Jane Doe. See Dkt. No. 9 at 1. The court may dismiss claims from a case where the plaintiff has consented to their dismissal. See, e.g., Greig v. Harmon, 182 F.3d 899, 899 (2d Cir. 1999) (denying a motion for relief from judgment where the plaintiff voluntarily consented to dismissal of his action); Drumm v. SUNY Geneseo Coll., 794 F. Supp. 2d 423, 424-25 (W.D.N.Y. 2011), aff'd, 486 Fed. Appx. 912 (2d Cir. 2012) (dismissing a retaliation claim where the plaintiff did not oppose dismissal). Here, count one (alleging a violation of the collective bargaining agreement) and count three (alleging a Title VII violation) must be dismissed because Plaintiff has not exhausted the administrative remedies available to her. Additionally, Plaintiff has failed to allege any interference with a judicial proceeding, as is required to bring a claim for conspiracy to interfere with civil rights (count five). See 42 U.S.C. 1985. Finally, the Complaint does not contain any allegations against John Doe and Jane Doe. See M.F. v. N. Syracuse Cent. Sch. Dist., No. 5:17-CV-1385, 2019 WL 1432768, *5 (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 29, 2019) (noting that "[i]t is well-settled that, where the complaint names a defendant in the caption but contains no allegations indicating how the defendant violated the law or injured the plaintiff, a motion to dismiss the complaint in regard to that defendant should be granted") (quotation and citations omitted). Accordingly, counts one, three, and five of the Complaint, and the John and Jane Doe Defendants, are DISMISSED. SO ORDERED by U.S. District Judge Mae A. D'Agostino on 5/28/19. (ban)
