Maldonado v. Shiro et al

Filing 25

OPINION & ORDER: Courts should generally not dismiss a pro se complaint without giving leave to amend at least once if there is any indication that, through a liberal reading of the complaint, a valid claim might be stated. See Cuoco v. M oritsugu, 222 F.3d 99, 112 (2d Cir. 2000). For the foregoing reasons, defendants' motion to dismiss is granted, and Maldonado is granted leave to file a second amended complaint by January 6, 2017. Failure to comply with this order may result in dismissal of the action pursuant to Rule 41 (b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order and all unpublished decisions cited therein to Maldonado at his address of record. (As further set forth in this Opinion & Order.) (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 12/14/2016) (mro)
