LESLIE ANNE HALL, et al.

 Plaintiffs, 

 v. 

CITY OF PLEASANTON et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No.: 15-cv-1546-YGR

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS;

REFERRING TO MAGISTRATE FOR 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE; VACATING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

Re: Dkt. No. 29 

Plaintiffs Leslie Ann Hall, her two minor children P. Hall R. Hall, and Cody Hall bring this 

civil action against defendants City of Pleasanton, Chief of Police Dave Spiller, Sergeant Mark 

Reimer, Detective Michael Wilson, Officer Tujague, and Officer Steve Ayers (collectively, 

“defendants”) for claims arising from their execution of a search warrant at plaintiffs’ residence. 

Plaintiffs allege two claims under 42 U.S.C. section 1983, specifically: (1) against all defendants 

except for Chief Spiller for violation of their rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, 

and (2) against the City, Chief Spiller, and Sergeant Reimer for ratifying and condoning the unlawful 

conduct of the other defendants. 

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) on the 

grounds that plaintiffs have failed to state a claim against them. (Dkt. No. 29, “Mtn.”) Having 

carefully considered the papers submitted and the pleadings in this action, and for the reasons set forth 

in full detail on the record on December 1, 2015, defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED WITH 

LEAVE TO AMEND. Plaintiffs shall file a second amended complaint no later than January 29, 2016. 

Moreover, and pursuant to Local Rule 72-1, this matter is hereby REFERRED to Magistrate 

Judge Westmore to conduct a mandatory settlement conference by no later than January 22, 2016. 

The parties will be advised of the date, time, and place of the settlement conference by notice from 

Judge Westmore.
