ORDER

The Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. #5) in this case to which no

timely objections have been filed. After a review of the Recommendation, and after an

independent review of the entire record, the Court believes that the Recommendation should

be adopted. Accordingly, it is 

ORDERED that the RECOMMENDATION (Doc. #5) of the Magistrate Judge is

ADOPTED. Because the Houston County Jail is not a legal entity amenable to suit under 42

U.S.C. § 1983, Plaintiff’s claims against it are DISMISSED with prejudice prior to service

of process pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (e)(2)(B)(i). The Houston County

Jail is DISMISSED as a party to this complaint. With respect to the remaining Defendants,

this case is referred back to the Magistrate Judge for additional proceedings.

Done this 16 day of October, 2008. th
