HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS CITY OF DETROIT AND CITY OF DETROIT
POLICE DEPARTMENT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (#19)
On November 17, 2010, plaintiffs filed this action against defendants alleging false arrest, excessive force, and failure to intervene. On May 14, 2012, defendants City of Detroit and City of Detroit Police Department filed a motion for summary judgment arguing: (1) defendant City of Detroit Police Department is not a proper party defendant as it is an operational subdivision of the City of Detroit; and (2) defendant City of Detroit is entitled to summary judgment because plaintiffs cannot offer any evidence of an underlying municipal policy or custom causing the injury alleged in the case. The court issued an order setting a response deadline of June 14, 2012. The date has passed and no response has been filed. The court finds that oral argument is not necessary. See Local Rule 7.1(f). For the reasons set forth in defendants' motion for summary judgment, the court GRANTS the motion. IT IS SO ORDERED.
