ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS TO DISMISS
[ECF Nos. 21, 22, 23]
On September 12, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a Complaint against the Defendant Officers. (ECF No. 1.) Following Defendants’ previous Motions to Dismiss, this Court ordered the Complaint dismissed in part with leave to amend. (ECF No. 17.) On February 29, 2016, Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). (ECF No. 20.) Defendants now move to dismiss the FAC in its entirety. (ECF Nos. 21, 22, 23.) Many of the arguments in the Motions to Dismiss and Responses in Opposition are largely a rehashing of the Court’s previous ruling on Defendants’ earlier Motions to Dismiss. Therefore, as noted below, many of the rulings made in the previous Order (ECF No. 17) are simply adopted and repeated for the purposes of this Order.
The Court finds these motions suitable for determination on the papers submitted and without oral argument. See Civ. L.R. 7.1(d)(1). For the reasons set forth below, the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss (ECF Nos. 21, 22, 23).
