Date Filed Document Text
March 18, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 16 OPINION AND ORDER: Defendants' motion to dismiss Plaintiff's § 1983 claims for (1) deprivation of federal civil rights; (2) false arrest; (3) malicious prosecution; (4) malicious abuse of process; (5) denial of fair trial; and (6) mun icipal liability is GRANTED. Plaintiff's request to amend the Complaint is DENIED. As Plaintiff has voluntarily dismissed his claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress and harassment, the only remaining claim is Plaintiff's ca use of action against Lassiter for assault and battery. The Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over this claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) and therefore DISMISSES this claim without prejudice. As Plaintiff's federal and state claims have been dismissed, the Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion (Doc. 12) and close this case. It is SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Edgardo Ramos on 3/18/2013) (lnl)
