Description:
Albuquerque, New Mexico 1983 civil rights violation lawyer represented the Plaintiff.
In this prison civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Plaintiff-Appellant Pedro Amaro alleges he was denied appropriate dental care, in violation of the Eigth Amendment.
Proceedings in this action were stayed while Mr. Amaro and several defendants named in his original complaint successfully negotiated a settlement. On May 30, 2023, a magistrate judge lifted the stay and sua sponte recommended dismissal of Mr. Amaro's then operative amended complaint, which expanded the factual allegations beyond those in the original complaint and named many additional defendants. The magistrate judge also recommended that Mr. Amaro's pending motion to further amend his complaint should be denied.
Outcome: Reversed.
