IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

BOBBY RAY CLAYTON PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 3:16-CV-00017-DPM-BD

CRAIGHEAD COUNTY 

DETENTION CENTER, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Bobby Ray Clayton, an inmate at the Craighead County Detention Center

(“Detention Center”), filed this lawsuit without the help of a lawyer under 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. (Docket entry #1) Mr. Clayton is proceeding on eighth amendment deliberateindifference claims against Defendants Dacus, Allison, Hall, and Hicks. 

In his original complaint, Mr. Clayton named the Craighead County Detention

Center as a Defendant. He has now filed an amended complaint, properly omitting the

Detention Center as a Defendant and naming Defendants Dacus, Allison, Hall, and Hicks

as parties. (#5) See Owens v. Scott County Jail, 328 F.3d 1026, 1027 (8th Cir. 2003)

(county jail is not an entity subject to suit under § 1983).

The amended complaint supersedes the original complaint. Thus, Craighead

County Detention Center is hereby dismissed as a Defendant. The Clerk of Court is

directed to amend the docket sheet to reflect this change.

DATED this 11th day of February, 2016.
