CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:03 CV 968 (WIG)
JUNE 9, 2004
MOTION TO DISMISS COUNT V OF PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED COMPLAINT The undersigned Defendants, Housing Authority of the City of Bridgeport, et al, respectfully moves this Court, pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), to dismiss the fifth count of plaintiff's Amended Complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. For the reasons set forth more fully in the accompanying Memorandum of Law, the plaintiff's claim that the defendants violated the plaintiff's due process right fails because the plaintiff has not alleged a protected "property interest" sufficient to give rise to a due process claim. Accordingly, Court V of plaintiff's Amended Complaint should be dismissed. ORAL ARGUMENT REQUESTED/ TESTIMONY NOT REQUIRED
