OPINION & ORDER re: 43 MOTION to Dismiss . filed by C. Boley, J. Carreras, S. Reams. Defendants' Motion To Dismiss is granted. Plaintiff's claims against Defendants Boley, Carreras, and Reams are dismissed with prejudice. This is the second time adjudicating those claims, and Plaintiff has fixed virtually none of the problems identified by the Court in the 2018 Opinion. See Denny v. Barber, 576 F.2d 465, 471 (2d Cir. 1978) (holding that the plaintiff was not entitl ed to "a third go-around"); Melvin v. County of Westchester, No. 14-CV-2995, 2016 WL 1254394, at *24 n.19 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 29, 2016) (granting motion to dismiss with prejudice where "[the] [p]laintiff has already had two bites at the ap ple, and they have proven fruitless" (citation, alterations and quotation marks omitted)). Furthermore, Chauvin is dismissed for failure to serve, but this dismissal is without prejudice. If service is not effected as to Chauvin within 30 days of this Opinion & Order and if Plaintiff continues to fail to request an extension of time to serve her, the Court may dismiss her from the Action with prejudice. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the pending Motion, (Dkt. No. 43), and mail a copy of this Opinion & Order to Plaintiff at the address listed on the docket. SO ORDERED., (S. Reams (Inmate Grievance Program Supervisor), C. Boley (Correction Officer) and J. Carreras (Sergeant) terminated.) (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 2/25/20) (yv) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.

OPINION & ORDER re: 20 MOTION to Dismiss filed by C. Boley, J. Carreras, S. Reams: For the reasons stated above, Defendants' Motion To Dismiss is granted. This Opinion does not impact Plaintiff's outstanding claims against Defenda nt Chauvin. Moreover, because this is the first adjudication of Plaintiff's claims on the merits, the dismissal is without prejudice. If Plaintiff wishes to file an amended complaint, Plaintiff must do so within 30 days of the date of this Opini on. Plaintiff should include within the amended complaint any changes to correct the deficiencies identified in this Opinion that Plaintiff wishes the Court to consider. Plaintiff is advised that the amended complaint will replace, not supplement, th e original complaint. The amended complaint must contain all of the claims against all Defendants, including those who have not joined in this Motion to Dismiss. The Court will not consider factual allegations contained in supplemental letters, decla rations, or memoranda. If Plaintiff fails to abide by the 30-day deadline, his claims against the moving Defendants may be dismissed with prejudice. Moreover, Chauvin remains unserved and unrepresented. It appears that Chauvin was not served because she "retired," and is no longer able to be served at Fishkill. (Dkt. No. 18.) Accordingly, Defendants are instructed to inform the Court of the proper service address for Chauvin within 30 days of the issuance of this Opinion. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the pending Motion, (Dkt. No. 20), and mail a copy of this Opinion to Plaintiff at the address listed on the docket. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 9/28/2018) (jwh) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
