September 28, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 169 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER re: 127 MOTION to Dismiss . filed by Joseph Schaller, Christopher Hearle, Robert Boyko, The City of New Rochelle, Patrick Carroll, Gregory Herring, Jose Pena, Rocco Oppedisano, Claudio Carpano, William Odell, 142 FIRST MOTION to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint. filed by Vincent A. Cuccia, 132 FIRST MOTION to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint. filed by Elizabeth Sofroniou, 134 MOTION to Dismiss . fi led by Grant O' Donnell, 120 FIRST MOTION to Dismiss Amended Complaint. filed by Bianca R Darmino. The Court GRANTS Defendants' Motions. Additionally, Plaintiff cannot be given an opportunity to file a Third Amended Compl aint, as any amendment to a complaint would be futile. Accordingly, leave to replead is denied. Chunn v. Amtrak, 916 F.3d 204, 208 (2d Cir. 2019). Plaintiff's § 1983 claims are time-barred and therefore any amendment would be futile. Furthermore, Plaintiff has already been given multiple opportunities to amend his pleading, including his conspiracy claim, and has not cured the identified pleading deficiencies. Separately, where a plaintiff has been given notice of defi ciencies in his pleading and has "failed to take advantage of his opportunities to cure or attempt to cure them," leave to replead is likewise properly denied. Elgalad v. New York City Dep't of Educ., No. 17-CV-4849, 2019 WL 4 805669, at *10 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2019). Finally, as to the Unserved Defendants, while Rule 4(m) permits a court to dismiss claims against unserved defendants without prejudice where, as here, "[t]he same grounds for dismissal of the [ser ved Defendants]... warrant[s] dismissal of the [SAC] as to the Unserved Defendants" dismissal with prejudice is appropriate. Cartwright v. D'Alleva, No. 17-CV-5953, 2018 WL 9343524, at *9 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 27, 2018), aff'd, 782 F. Ap p'x 77 (2d Cir. 2019). Thus, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's claims with prejudice. The Clerk is instructed to terminate the pending motions (Docs. 120, 127, 132, 134, 142), and close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Philip M. Halpern on 9/28/2020) (ks)
