Description
This is an appeal from an order of the circuit court of Cook County granting defendant, Village of Midlothian's (hereinafter called Village) motion to dismiss plaintiff John Bell's second amended complaint against it for personal injuries. The plaintiff was a 17-year-old boy who was injured while riding a motor-powered mini-bike on a dirt mini-bike trail and jumps running across a vacant lot, which lies outside of the corporate boundaries of the Village. The order dismissing the Village left unaffected plaintiff's complaint against Joseph and Joanne Dienes, the owners of the vacant lot and residents of a home next door to the lot, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, the owners of a right of way running behind the lot, American Honda Company, Incorporated, the alleged manufacturer of the bike, and Midlothian Sports and Cycle Center Incorporated, which allegedly serviced the bike. The issue presented for review is whether the circuit court erred in granting the Village's motion to dismiss the counts of plaintiff's complaint which related to the actions of the Village (counts I, II and III of plaintiff's second amended complaint).
