1Opinion of the CourtJustice Linn
Plaintiff, Dino Santelli, as executor of the estates of James and Pearl Murray (decedents), filed a fifth amended complaint in the circuit court of Cook County against defendants, the City of Chicago and the County of Cook. Plaintiff sought damages for the fatal injuries that decedents suffered as a result of an automobile accident.
The trial court struck a portion of the complaint with prejudice and dismissed the city from the action. The court ruled that the complaint failed to state a cause of action against the city. Plaintiff appeals, assigning error to the dismissal.
