Vincent v. City Colls. of Chicago
. . .
The district court dismissed most of the complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). The complaint is fatally deficient, the judge wrote, because it does not plead facts that show an entitlement to relief. 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42963 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 6, 2005). The only well-pleaded claim, the district court concluded, is Vincent’s contention that the Association violated the copyright laws by printing copies of her book after she withdrew consent. With respect to that claim, the district court later granted
summary judgment in the Association’s favor, ruling that Vincent had failed to establish that the Association received written notice of her decision. 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 44737 (N.D. Ill. June 15, 2006).
. . .
The order dismissing the City of Chicago for lack of service (and thus absence of personal jurisdiction) is
affirmed. The judgment with respect to the other defendants is affirmed to the extent that Morris and the City Colleges prevailed on the copyright claim. The remainder of the judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
