Docket Text
 WRITTEN Opinion entered by the Honorable James F. Holderman on 6/21/2011:For the reasons explained in the Statement section of this order, plaintiff Merced Rojas's ("Rojas") "Motion for Reconsideration of this Court's Order (Docket #335) Regarding Monell Liability" 392 is granted. The court will permit Rojas to present evidence related to the Town's Monell liability based on either a widespread practice or final policymaker theory of liability. Because the identification of the final policymaker is a question of law for the court, the court will make its ruling on whether President Larry Dominick was a final policymaker after the jury reaches its verdict. Signed by the Honorable James F. Holderman on 6/21/2011: Mailed notice (am)
