ORDER ON MOTIONS TO DISMISS

Defendants Johnson County Commissioners, Bartholomew County Commissioners, and the Johnson County Prosecutor have all moved to dismiss all claims against them for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. (Docket Nos. 16, 19, and 21.) The time to respond to those motions has passed without response from plaintiff. The court has examined the motions and finds that each should be granted for the reasons stated in the supporting briefs. In addition, it appears that the problems identified could not be cured by re- pleading, so the dismissal of these defendants shall be with prejudice.

Accordingly, the motions to dismiss filed by defendants Johnson County Commissioners, Bartholomew County Commissioners, and the Johnson County Prosecutor are hereby GRANTED, and all claims against these defendants are *2 hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The court will not enter a separate partial final judgment as to these defendants.

So ordered. Date: May 15, 2008 DAVID F. HAMILTON, CHIEF JUDGE
