While the circumstances surrounding Ms. Romains disappearance and death remain a mystery, and in fact are somewhat suspicious, Parker wrote in the opinion, the Court concludes that Plaintiff fails to create a genuine issue of material fact to hold Defendants liable under the theories pled.
Addressing the conspiracy claim, Parker wrote, Plaintiff does not attempt to show that Defendants conspired to violate Ms. Romains civil rights based on some racial or other class-based invidiously discriminatory animus.
This Court concludes that Defendants are entitled to summary judgment with respect to Plaintiffs claim.
