OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state 

prisoner, filed this lawsuit complaining about an 

ongoing lack of medical treatment for injuries suffered 

during arrest. This lawsuit is now before the court on 

the recommendation of the United States Magistrate 

Judge that plaintiff’s claims against defendant Houston 

County Jail be dismissed because the jail is not 

subject to suit. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo

review of the record, the court concludes that the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation should be adopted.
