The United States District Court for the Central District of California issued an order granting a third consecutive motion to dismiss in favor of the City of South Gate city council members, mayor, and police chief, this time dismissing the case in its entirety with prejudice.  The civil action arose out of a police pursuit, where the plaintiff fled in a vehicle and on foot before barricading himself in impound yard.  Due to multiple failures to comply with police commands to voluntarily exit, officers deployed a police canine to safely apprehend the plaintiff.  Plaintiff brought multiple federal and state law claims against the City defendants predicated on allegations that the use of the police canine constituted excessive force.  After previously affording Plaintiff leave to amend twice, the District Court dismissed the case with prejudice, finding that Plaintiff either could not or would not successfully amend the complaint to salvage the lawsuit.  The Defendants were represented by Steven Rothans and Kimberly Sarmiento.
