Order
MEMORANDUM: For the reasons set forth herein, the Brooke's defendants' Motion to Dismiss (Doc. No. 56 ) will be granted in part and denied in part, and the insurance companies' Motions to Dismiss (Doc. Nos. 57 , 59 ) will be granted in their entirety. As a result, Count II will be dismissed as to Harlan-Evitts and Brooke's Bonding, and all claims against Continental and American will be dismissed. While no other defendants have filed motions to dismiss, the determination t hat the FAC fails to allege facts that, if true, establish that Brooke's Bonding and Harlan-Evitts were state actors, for purposes of a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, has obvious implications for the other defendants in this case. Signed by District Judge Aleta A. Trauger on 6/23/2026. (xc: Pro se party by regular mail.) (DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.) (sh)
