UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROLAND CAMPBELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

TODD M. MCMAHON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00376-JSC 

ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO FILE 

AMENDED COMPLAINT; OF 

PARTIAL DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, an inmate in the Santa Clara County Jail, filed this pro se civil rights complaint 

under 42 U.S.C. ' 1983 against two San Jose Police Officers for using excessive force against him 

during the course of his arrest. The Court found that the Complaint stated cognizable claims 

against the two officers and ordered the United States Marshal to serve them. The Complaint also 

named the San Jose Police Department as a defendant, but made no allegations against it, let alone 

sufficient allegations to establish municipal liability. Consequently, the claims against the Police 

Department were dismissed with leave to amend. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, but it also

makes no allegations against the Police Department. As the amended complaint does not cure the 

deficiencies found in the original complaint, leave to file a further amended complaint is DENIED 

and the claims against the San Jose Police Department are DISMISSED. This case will proceed in 

accordance with the schedule set forth in the Order of Service solely on the basis of the claims set 

forth in the original Complaint against Officers McMahon and Williams. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 13, 2015
