UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
HENNIE WOOTEN

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 11-0145

THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, ET AL

SECTION “N”(3)

ORDER AND REASONS
Before the Court is the “Motion for Summary Judgment” (Rec. Doc. 37), filed by
Defendants the City of New Orleans, Mayor Mitch Landrieu, Superintendent Ronal Serpas, and
Officer Randolph Daniel (“Defendants”). The Court has pre-tried the case and discussed this
motion with counsel. Plaintiff expressly does not oppose summary judgment on the remaining
battery claim following the Court’s Order of August 20, 2012 granting Defendants’ Motion to
Dismiss (Rec. Doc. 32). Further, it appears to the Court that the motion has merit. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgement is GRANTED.
The remaining state law battery claim against Officer Daniel is dismissed.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 10th day of September 2012.
