September 28, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 53 OPINION AND ORDER re: 27 MOTION to Dismiss Pursuant to 12(b)(6) and Dismissal of Cross-Claims; 24 MOTION for Judgment on the Pleadings: For the foregoing reasons, Defendants Motions to Dismiss is granted in part and denied in pa rt. The Court dismisses the claims against Dr. Bentivegna and Dr. Van der Steeg, but denies the Motion to Dismiss the Eighth Amendment claims against Nurse McDonald. However, because this is the first adjudication of Plaintiffs claims on the merits, the dismissal is without prejudice. See Terry v. Inc. Vill. Of Patchogue, 826 F.3d 631, 633 (2d Cir. 2016) (explaining that "district judges should, as a general matter, liberally permit pro se litigants to amend their pleadings" unless &qu ot;amendment would be futile"). Should Plaintiff choose to file an amended complaint, he must do so within 30 days of this Opinion, addressing the deficiencies identified herein. The amended complaint will replace, not supplement, the Complaint currently before the Court. It therefore must contain all of the claims and factual allegations Plaintiff wishes the Court to consider. The Court will not consider factual allegations raised in supplemental declarations, affidavits, or letters. If Pl aintiff fails to abide by the 30-day deadline, the dismissed claims could be dismissed with prejudice, and the case will go forward without Dr. Bentivegna or Dr. Van der Steeg. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully requested to terminate the pending motions, (Dkt. Nos. 24, 27), and to mail a copy of this Opinion to Plaintiff. (Vander Steeg and Robert V. Bentivegna terminated. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 9/28/2018) (jwh)
