Filing 138
DECISION AND ENTRY OVERRULING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION (DOC. # 133 )- Although actions taken by an official with final decision-making authority may give rise to municipal liability, liability may also arise as the result of an unw ritten custom, policy or practice.

Doc. # 123 , PagelD#1363. For these reasons, the Court OVERRULES Defendant Montgomery County's Motion for Reconsideration, Doc. # 133 . Signed by Judge Walter H. Rice on 10/16/17. (kma)
