______________________________________________________________________________
WILLIS FOSTER,
Plaintiff,
v. 	No. 1:25-cv-01140-STA-jay
OFFICER CUPPLES, et al.,
Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On August 19, 2025, Defendants “Jackson Police Department,” the City of Jackson,
Tennessee, Jackson Police Department officers Cupples, Tillet, Hodge, and Amawi, and two
unknown K-9 officers, moved for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Rule 12(c) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Docket Entry [“D.E.”] 17). On September 17, 2025, the
undersigned recommended that Defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings be granted in
part and denied in part. (D.E. 23). Since that time, Plaintiff has requested and been given leave to
amend his Complaint, and the Magistrate Judge has withdrawn his Report and Recommendation
on Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. (D.E. 26, 33). Accordingly, in light of
these proceedings allowing Plaintiff to amend his Complaint, the Magistrate Judge recommends
that Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings be denied as moot.
Respectfully submitted,
s/Jon A. York
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
