Does Bouchard have to continue to seek leave to amend his complaint against the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the individual defendants in their official capacities?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Bouchard v. Olmsted, 18-1658 (2nd Cir. 2019):
2. Bouchard does not contest the district court's holding that his claims against DOJ and the individual defendants in their official capacities were barred by sovereign immunity, or its decision that further leave to amend his complaint would be futile. These issues are therefore abandoned. See LoSacco v. City of Middletown, 71 F.3d 88, 92-93 (2d Cir. 1995).
