Date Filed Document Text
January 5, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 38 OPINION AND ORDER re: 29 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by The City of New York: To adopt journalistic parlance, the Court's extensive Fourth Amendment analysis buries the lede: Summary judgment is warranted because Plaintiff o ffered only conclusory pleadings, and demonstrably insufficient evidence, of a City custom, practice, or policy that operated to violate his constitutional rights. He cannot therefore establish liability under Monell. In addition, as set forth above , Plaintiff has failed to allege a constitutional violation on which his Section 1983 claim can be predicated. This, too, compels summary judgment. For the foregoing reasons, Defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED in its entirety. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate all pending motions, adjourn all remaining dates, and close this case. (Signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla on 1/5/2015) (tn)
