state a claim upon which relief can be granted pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), arguing plaintiffs have 

failed to allege municipal liability under Monell v. Department 

of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658 (1978). (See Def.’s Mot. 

(Docket No. 16).) Plaintiff did not oppose the motion, nor does 

plaintiff allege any basis for holding Yolo County liable under 

Monell. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that defendant Yolo County’s 

motion to dismiss be, and the same hereby is, GRANTED. The 

hearing set for May 4, 2015 is vacated. 

Plaintiffs shall have twenty days from the date this 

Order is signed to file an amended complaint if they can do so in 

a manner consistent with this Order.

Dated: April 28, 2015
