1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Circuit Judge:
The district court dismissed Earl Thomas’ § 1983 claim with prejudice and denied his motion for reconsideration. In the latter motion, plaintiff alleged “each of the defects found by this Court to render the complaint untenable are clearly subject to amendment and easily curable.” We agree, and therefore reverse, and direct the district court to allow Thomas to amend his complaint.
I
Thomas filed a five-count complaint against the defendants in state court. Because count II of the complaint was a claim *772under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the defendants removed the case to federal court.
