Heading: Claim Against City Of Euclid — Count Eleven

Text: The final issue we address is the City of Euclid’s liability under a failure to train/discipline/supervise theory. Plaintiffs argue that the City of Euclid has known that Officer Doyle has been “harassing, abusing and assaulting minors” in the City of Euclid for over a decade, but has not done anything to prevent him from harming juveniles. According to Plaintiffs, the City of Euclid therefore caused their constitutional injuries. Plaintiffs’ claim against the City of Euclid is untenable because, as explained above, they have not shown that a constitutional violation occurred. Thurmond v. Cnty. of Wayne, 447 F. App’x 643, 651 (6th Cir. 2011) (“[I]t is well settled that ‘[t]here can be no Monell liability under § 1983 unless there is an underlying unconstitutional act.’ ” (quoting Wilson v. Morgan, 477 F.3d 326, 340 (6th Cir. 2007))).
