PLAINTIFF 

Center; LUTHER WHITFIELD, Lieutenant, 

Mississippi County Detention Center; and 

MISSISSIPPI COUNTY DETENTION CENTER DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

Opposed partial recommendation, NQ 6, adopted on de novo review. 

FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). Clifton's objection, NQ 8, is overruled. Assuming that 

the defendants violated the facility's professional standards, challenging their 

actions is not a claim about a county policy or custom. Jenkins v. County of 

Hennepin, Minnesota, 557 F.3d 628,632 (8th Cir. 2009). Clifton's claims against 

all defendants in their official capacities are dismissed without prejudice. His 

§ 1983 claims against the Mississippi County Detention Center are dismissed

with prejudice because the jail can't be sued. 

So Ordered.
