ORDER

The court has before it plaintiff's amendment to the complaint (doc. 28), defendant

City of Peoria's motion to dismiss (doc. 30), and plaintiff's response (doc. 31).

Plaintiff named two defendants in her complaint: the City of Peoria and the City of

Phoenix. In our Order dated January 18, 2006 (doc. 27), we granted both cities' motions to

dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted (docs. 5 and 6). Rather

than direct the clerk to enter final judgment, we provided the plaintiff with 30 days to file an

amended complaint naming Officer M. Kess as a defendant as she requested.

Plaintiff filed a timely amendment to the complaint, adding Officer M. Kess as a

defendant (doc. 28). Plaintiff also attempted to circumvent our order by amending the

complaint to clarify and supplement the previously dismissed claims against the City of

Peoria. The City of Peoria moves to dismiss the amended claims directed against it (doc. 30).

Plaintiff had ample opportunity to set forth her claims in the complaint, the response

to the City of Peoria's original motion to dismiss, and her other numerous briefings.

Moreover, plaintiff sets forth no reason for which we would reconsider our decision to

dismiss her claims against the City of Peoria.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED GRANTING City of Peoria's motion to dismiss

plaintiff's amended claims directed against it (doc. 30).

For clarity, plaintiff can no longer assert any claim against the City of Peoria or the

City of Phoenix arising out of this incident. She may proceed on the amended complaint

against Officer Kess only.

DATED this 31st day of March, 2006.
