TOWN OF PITTSBORO, CHRISTI PATTERSON, LIEUTENANT SCOTT KING, CARRI WEBER,  Defendants.
The Plaintiffs in this case - Matthew Stumm, Jason Stumm, and Brian Helmer - are current or former Pittsboro Police officers who allege that the Chief of Police and a Police Major recorded their conversations without their knowledge and without a court order in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Relatedly, Plaintiffs allege that Carri Weber, a Captain with the Plainfield Police Department, violated the Federal Wiretap Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2510, et seq., when she used and disclosed the recorded conversations while conducting an investigation into alleged misconduct on the part of Matthew Stumm. Presently pending before the Court is a Motion to Dismiss filed by Captain Weber. [Filing No. 12.] For the reasons that follow, the Motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.
Under Rule 12(b)(6), a party may move to dismiss a claim that does not state a right to relief. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require that a complaint provide the defendant with “fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.” Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 93 (2007) (quoting Bell Atlantic v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)). In reviewing the sufficiency of a complaint, the Court must accept all well-pled facts as true and draw all permissible inferences in favor of the plaintiff. See Active Disposal Inc. v. City of Darien, 635 F.3d 883, 886 (7th Cir. 2011). A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss asks whether the complaint “contain[s] sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to ‘state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570). The Court will not accept legal conclusions or conclusory allegations as sufficient to state a claim for relief. See McCauley v. City of Chicago, 671 F.3d 611, 617 (7th Cir. 2011). Factual allegations must plausibly state an entitlement to relief “to a degree that rises above the speculative level.” Munson v. Gaetz, 673 F.3d 630, 633 (7th Cir. 2012). This plausibility determination is “a context- specific task that requires the reviewing court to draw on its judicial experience and common sense.” Id.
Captain Weber filed a Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) alleging that the allegations in the Complaint do not state a cause of action against her and her Motion is now ripe for the Court's review.
