IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

JUSTIN ALLEN HAYNES PLAINTIFF

v. CASE NO. 3:16-CV-00026 BSM

GREENE COUNTY DETENTION

CENTER, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The recommended disposition (“RD”) submitted by U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe J.

Volpe has been reviewed. No objections have been filed. After careful review, the RD is

adopted. Although the RD cites to a case involving subdivisions of city government, “county

jails are [also] not legal entities amendable to suit.” Owens v. Scott Cty. Jail, 328 F.3d 1026,

1027 (8th Cir. 2003).

Accordingly, the Green County Detention Center is dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 10th day of March 2016.
