1 Citing case

  1. Perry v. Corizon Health, Inc.

    Case No. 16-cv-14515 (E.D. Mich. Nov. 9, 2017)

    With respect to the first two objections, courts have held that a plaintiff must establish that a defendant had a policy, practice, or custom that resulted in the deprivation of constitutional rights. See, e.g., Jones v. Prison Health Servs., No. 11-CV-12134, 2011 WL 7630364, at *2 (E.D. Mich. Dec. 14, 2011), report and recommendation adopted, No. 11-12134, 2012 WL 1048604 (E.D. Mich. Mar. 28, 2012). See also Garner v. Memphis Police Dep't, 8 F.3d 358, 364 (6th Cir. 1993) ("to satisfy the Monell requirements a Plaintiff 'must identify the policy, connect the policy to the city itself and show that the particular injury was incurred because of the execution of that policy. . .").
