Description

Plaintiff, Michelle LaPan, appeals from an order dismissing her amended petition. The petition was dismissed after the trial
court sustained a demurrer filed by defendant-appellee, Sandra Myers. In her appeal plaintiff assigns as error the actions
of the trial court in (1) sustaining defendant's demurrer, (2) failing to specify on which of three grounds the demurrer was
sustained, and (3) dismissing plaintiff's petition without granting plaintiff leave to amend. We affirm. The record before us shows the following facts: On July 19, 1989, plaintiff filed a petition, denominated a "Complaint,"
in the district court for Lancaster County in a case docketed as "Docket 442 Page 262." The petition named Sandra Myers, an
employee of the Lincoln Police Department, as defendant and sought damages from her because defendant, on May 27, 1988, allegedly
"did defame the Plaintiff by uttering, printing and or publishing false statements . . . ." On September 5, 1989, plaintiff
filed an "Amended Complaint." The pleading was captioned "In the United States District Court," but the record shows it was
filed in Lancaster County District Court. The error led to some confusion, since it became apparent at a hearing in this case
that plaintiff also had an action pending in the federal court. The parties treated the pleading as filed in the state court.
