ORDER
Before the Defendant’s Partial Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint
(“Doc. 26), filed May 19, 2016, filed by the City of Garland; and Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss
(Doc. 30), filed July 7, 2016, by Glenn Breysacher. On September 1, 2016, Magistrate Judge David
L. Horan entered the Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate
Judge (“Report”), recommending that the court grant both motions to dismiss and dismiss without
prejudice Plaintiffs’ claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and allow Plaintiffs to replead their claims.
Plaintiff filed objections to the Report, contending that their pleadings are sufficient and requesting,
in the alternative, that they be allowed to replead their claims under section 1983. The City of
Garland filed a response in opposition contending that Plaintiff should not be allowed to amend their
pleadings.
Having reviewed the pleadings, file, record in this case, and Report, and having conducting
a de novo review of that portion of the Report to which objection was made, the court determines
that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of
Order – Page 1
the court. Accordingly, the court grants the motions to dismiss (Docs. 26, 30), overrules Plaintiffs’
objections to the Report, and allows Plaintiffs one more opportunity to cure the deficiencies noted
in the Report and the City of Garland’s response to their objections. Plaintiffs shall file their
amended complaint by October 25, 2016. No further amendments will be permitted. Failure to file
an amended complaint by October 25, 2016, as required by this order, may result in this case being
dismissed with prejudice under Rule 12(b)(6) or without prejudice under Rule 41(b) for failure to
prosecute and comply with a court order.
It is so ordered this 5th day of October, 2016.
