ORDER ON MOTION

Pending before the court is Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint. He

seeks to name Commissioner Richard Allen and Governor Bob Riley as additional

defendants to this cause of action. In support of his motion, Plaintiff, who alleges in his

complaint that Defendants failed to provide adequate security and health care, maintains that

Commissioner Allen and Governor Riley have not taken appropriate steps to remedy the

matters about which he complains. Having read and considered Plaintiff's motion, the

undersigned concludes that it shall be denied. See Monell v. New York City Dep't of Social

Serv., 436 U.S. 658, 694 (1978) (doctrine of respondeat superior is inapplicable to § 1983

actions). 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint

(Doc. No. 13) be and is hereby DENIED.
