• finding that the Lynbook Police Department is an administrative arm of the Village of Lynbrook
• finding evidence sufficient on Monell claim where “the Village failed to conduct a meaningful investigation into any of the claims regarding Curtis’ conduct”
• dismissing complaint as against police department defendant because police department was merely administrative arm of municipality
• dismissing complaint as against Lynbrook Police Department because it is administrative arm of municipality

• “[Drawing all reasonable inferences in favor of Davis, a jury could rationally conclude that the six remaining letters of complaints and criticisms demonstrate an obvious need for more or better supervision to protect against constitutional violations.”
