Holton v. Resurrection Hospital
Appellate Court of Illinois
1Opinion of the Court
Mr. PRESIDING JUSTICE LINN
delivered the opinion of the court:
Plaintiff, James T. Holton, the administrator of the estate of Lloyd Kumbera, brings this appeal from an order entered in the circuit court of Cook County dismissing his complaint and from an order denying him leave to conduct discovery and file an amended complaint. Plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed as failing to state a cause of action because it alleged conclusions rather than specific facts. The only issue we need determine on appeal is whether the complaint states a cause of action. We hold that it does and reverse and remand.
