GALBREATH v. HELEN

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION

KEEL GALBREATH, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) No. 1:25-cv-00853-JPH-TAB ) MARCHAL W. HELEN, ) RYAN MEARS, ) KATE SWEENEY BELL, ) ) Defendants. )

ORDER DISMISSING CASE The Court screened Mr. Galbreath's original complaint and dismissed it because it failed to state a claim and because each defendant enjoys immunity from suit. Dkt. 6. Mr. Galbreath then filed an amended complaint. Dkt. 7. It alleges the following: "all parties actions as government officials" exceeded "their authority acting outside [their] bounds of their lawful authority"; civil rights violations; failure to protect him from harm; "deprivation of rights color of law"; breach of fiduciary duty; and "testilying." Id. at 5. However, these allegations do not present a "story that holds together" about what any of the defendants did, McCauley v. City of Chicago, 671 F.3d 611, 616 (7th Cir. 2011), so the amended complaint must be dismissed for failure to state a claim, Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). And as the Court's initial screening order discussed, each defendant is entitled to immunity from suit. Dkt. 6 at 3–4. None of the allegations in Mr. Galbreath's amended complaint compel a different conclusion. Mr. Galbreath's claims are therefore DISMISSED with prejudice. Final judgment shall issue by separate entry. SO ORDERED.
