Judgment by Court
Wed 04/09 4:38 PM
JUDGMENT BY COURT. Benedict has failed to state a plausible claim against Pierce County. The County's motion to dismiss, Dkt.6 , is GRANTED. Because Benedict could not amend her complaint to cure any of the fatal defects described in the previous Order, the dismissal is with prejudice and without leave to amend. This case is closed.
