Background
Jessica Roush appealed the district court’s order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss her second amended complaint filed under Section nineteen eighty-three of Title forty-two of the United States Code. The case originated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia.
The court’s reasoning
The court reviewed the record and found no reversible error. The district court had afforded the plaintiff multiple opportunities to supplement and revise her claims, yet she failed to meet the requisite pleading standards. Additionally, her informal brief failed to adequately challenge the dismissal and introduced facts and allegations not previously presented to the district court.
What it means going forward
The dismissal of the civil rights action stands, leaving the plaintiff without a judicial remedy for her allegations.
