ненадлежащий ответчик (Lawsuit by motorist injured in car accident involving sheriff's deputy was properly dismissed when the plaintiff failed to name the county as a defendant. The sheriff's department was not, under Mississippi state law, a "political subdivision" that could be named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Brown v. Thompson, No. 2004-CA-01703, 927 So. 2d 733 (Miss. 2006). [N/R] City police department was not a "person" subject to liability under federal civil rights statute Post v. City of Fort Lauderdale, 750 F.Supp. 1131 (S.D.Fla 1990). ... Claimants who sue an improper party may have recourse by relating back the amended complaint to the original complaint for statute of limitation purposes. Alexander Demidov) |
