The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
JOHN DOE, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v. Case No. 2:25-cv-138
Judge Edmund A. Sargus, Jr.
REYNOLDSBURG CITY SCHOOL Magistrate Judge Elizabeth P. Deavers
DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on a Motion to Dismiss filed by Defendants Greg Pollock
and the Reynoldsburg City School District Board of Education. (ECF No. 5.) In response to the
Motion to Dismiss, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint against all Defendants. (ECF No. 8.)
Amended complaints supersede the original pleadings and render pending motions to
dismiss moot. Lloyd v. Pokorny, No. 2:20-cv-2928, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 123212, at *6 (S.D.
Ohio July 7, 2020) (explaining that after a plaintiff subsequently files an amended complaint,
courts in this Circuit will deny a motion filed under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
as moot). Because Plaintiffs filed the Amended Complaint after the Motion to Dismiss, the
Amended Complaint superseded the original complaint and the pending Motion to Dismiss
became moot. Accordingly, the Motion to Dismiss is DENIED as MOOT. (ECF No. 5.)
This case remains open.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
